Welcome to the show
THE SHOW
Kut The Stigma is a Show Focused on Mental Health Among African American Men.
The show offers safe spaces for black men to talk shop about a few things:
- Mental and physical well being
- Need, Stigma, Accessibility and Inequity of Health and Wellness Services
- Correlation Between Physical and Mental Health
THE WHY
As a previously homeless, African American veteran, I have a deep passion for inspiring communities who are apt to shy away from mental health support to side-step the stigma and accept the services they need. In 2019, Columbia University identified my community of African American Men as being 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems, such as major depressive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder. As a motivational speaker, musician and spoken word artist, I have created a new initiative designed to open the conversation between mental health professionals and my community.
