As black men we haven't always been equipped or taught how to effectively process or express our feelings. It sucks, but we gotta learn how to do it. We need to learn for ourselves and for those we care about.  

In this episode I talk about the importance of not suppressing your emotions and share a resource that could be helpful in learning how to communicate your feelings.

Our mental health is super important, and creativity is a good way to help improve it. In this episode I share some of my creative influences and why should identify yours to help with your creativity.

Sometimes we can feel like our thoughts, feelings, and stories don't matter. Especially, if we're not famous...or feel like we haven't done anything of importance. Well...that's not true. Your story, your words, your feelings, and your thoughts matter. So...share it. Or, at least express it creatively.

Some times creating just doesn't cut it. You're stressed, you're depressed, you're feeling anxious, adulting is just winning the day...but making something isn't helping you win the fight. 

What do you do?!?!?!?!?!?

In this episode I share some 3 things that I've found to help me when creating just isn't working as an emotional release. I hope you find this stuff helpful!

Time is fleeting, especially when you're trying to be a responsible adult human being. But, we make time for the things that are important to us, so why not include our creativity in that important list. We understand that creativity is a helpful tool in managing our mental health. It's important that we find a little bit of time in the day, in the week, to make sure we're good, so that we can be good for others. Even if it's just 15 minutes.

In this episode I share some tips on how to find some time in our busy lives and schedules to create something. I hope you find this stuff helpful!

Often times we may turn to entertainment to help deal with our stress and internal problems. I don't think it's as helpful as we may think...

In this episode I discuss how entertainment doesn't give you the same results as actually creating or making something.

Thanks for tuning into another episode of the "Dude, Make Something" Podcast
