Being Black and lonely

Have you ever felt lonely? Black people are more likely to feel lonely than the general population, according to research from the Mental Health Foundation. Marwah El-Murad, who works for the organisation, explains why. And Rhyanna shares her own story of being young, black and lonely. She tells De-Graft and Roshan that you can feel like that even when you have lots of people around you.

Presenters: De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts

Researcher: Michele Theil
