Cheers to 3 years of podcasting. This has been a journey that I feel so many emotions about ending. I found hope, lost hope and found it again over the past 3 years. In this moment, I still do not have it all together, and honestly, I am not sure if I ever will. However, I am glad that I was able to tell my story. I just hope someone else finds the ability to overcome and find a way to live with their mental health and wellness challenges. I may not be the change that makes a great impact on the world, but I hope to be the spark that ignites a flame of change. I'm tired, still challenged and I do not know what the future holds. I know the best thing for me to do is to end this and move on. Thank you for listening, -Blake--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/diaryofamadblackman/message

Diary of a Mad Black Man

*This episode has some explicit content*  This diary entry was sparked partially by a breakfast club interview with a drag queen by the name of Flame Monroe. In this episode, I share some of the challenges I've had with my sexual orientation and experiences in relationships. I speak on how it has impacted my life, relationships, mental health and where I am today. Honesty, transparency, vulnerability are high in this episode. For anyone who has been rejected or felt confused because of who they are attracted to sexually, this is going to be a good one for you. There is much more to cover and there will be a part 2. But for now, enjoy part 1!   Click here for the link to the breakfast club interview referenced in the episode.  ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/diaryofamadblackman/message

I've been feeling uneasy about this podcasting thing lately. I believe its TOO early in the game to be feeling like this but I am still sharing my truth. In this entry, I talk a little about the stigma surrounding mental health and my struggles with sharing. As well as express how I am dealing with creating this platform and what I feel obligated to do, the responsibility that comes with it, and how I am overcoming these challenges. Overall, this is my episode to express that there will never be malicious intent behind anything I share or express. At the same time, I cannot consume myself with the fears of what people may think or feel about what I share.  People are going to think what they want, I have no control over that. What I do have control over is my intentions and purpose which I vow to always be pure and honest. Moreover, hoping to be uplifting, inspiring, and motivating. I hope you enjoy! Below is the article I referenced in this diary entry.  From The Black Youth Project - http://blackyouthproject.com/the-conditioning-that-fuels-the-mental-health-epidemic-for-black-men-and-how-to-stop-it/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/diaryofamadblackman/message

DE 10: A Message to listeners Pt 2

Dr. Lulu, a board certified pediatrician and youth suicide prevention activist for over 30 years shares this diary entry with me as we discuss the history of mental health, youth suicide and the stigma of mental health. We explore the stigma of suicide in the black community, especially as it relates to children and black men. I even open up a bit more about my own mental health challenges and suicide. These are heavy topics we discuss but this is extremely important to have conversations like this. I will continue to push through my own inhibitions to raise awareness and end the stigma of mental health and suicide. Dr. Lulu is an author and speaker. Check out some of her work below and enjoy another wonderful diary entry.
