Blk Pod Festival Session: Creating Space for Black Mens Mental Health with Darius Hicks and Jay Connor
Welcome back to another episode from Blk Pod Festival 2022!
In today's society, discussing mental health is more in vogue than ever. What was once considered a taboo subject, mental health is now discussed everywhere, and is recognized as a serious health issue to address. As antiquated stigmas surrounding mental health fade, we are challenged to understand what constitutes a healthy mind and spirit. This is even more true as we navigate a post-COVID world, and how this tumultuous period has re-wired our priorities. Focusing on your happiness and well-being is more important than ever. However, this space can sometimes be hard to unpack.
This week, Darius Hicks of the “While Black” podcast and Jay Connor of "Extraordinary Negroes" joins us. We discuss mental health in a post-pandemic world. They talk about how COVID has changed how we approach our mental health, how necessary it is to create vulnerable spaces with friends, the secret power in a good cry, and the importance of celebrating oneself.
Their conversation was an amazing chance to speak about mental wellness and how to prioritize it in your life. Learning how to manage your mental health is critical to growing emotionally and part of your overall health. Thanks for tuning in!
