In light of Mental Health Awareness Month, in this episode Fihliwe has a conversation with Siphokazi Tau about all things mental health in the African community.

As we step into mental health awareness month, we reflect on how September was for us, we identify some of our triggers and self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. We also tried to be as vulnerable, as we could possibly be about our highs and lows, and ended it off with gratitude.
