Unmasking the Mask: Conversations on Black Male Depression

Join Instructors BK Spades, JB Smith (JB vs. The World), and our guest, JT (Marks With Mics) as we dive deep into the often-overlooked experiences of Black men struggling with depression. Join us as we break down the stigma surrounding mental health, challenge harmful stereotypes, and explore the profound impact of depression on various aspects of Black men's lives. We'll have candid conversations about facing depression, sharing our personal stories, insights, and strategies for coping. We'll discuss how depression can affect relationships with partners, children, friends, and colleagues, and how we approached everyday tasks and responsibilities. Together, we'll explore the unique challenges of seeking help, navigating societal expectations, and finding support. This is a safe space for honest dialogue, empathy, and understanding. Whether you're a Black man struggling with depression or simply looking to learn more about this important issue.
