Here's Part 1 of my chat with counsellor, podcaster and comedian Leo Flowers; we discuss his experience growing up in the US, lockdown and its impact on our relationships, and more. Follow Leo on Instagram @leoflowers2000 and check out his podcast 'Before You Kill Yourself' available on all platforms!

I chat with North-West London-based content creator El Formosa about mental health experiences of herself and friends and family growing up, whilst touching on deep topics like mental health in the grime scene, black masculinity, triggers of anxiety and more!

Check out El on Instagram @elformosax for her current IG Live 'Mental Health and Grime' series! Also check out the Mental Movement Magazine (the platform El works with) and the work they do to support people's mental health: www.mentalmovement.co.uk.

P.S. Sorry for the glitchy audio quality, I'm learning as I go!

Second part of my chat with Tayo, in which we discuss further experiences of racial ignorance and some practical ideas on how we can remove stigmas of mental health issues in our friendships and communities.

In this first part of my first conversation, I chat with musician, DJ/presenter and uni graduate Tayo Adeleye about his experience growing up and coming to terms with his mental health. We also discuss ways we can move forward as young black British men in opening up about it! Follow Tayo on Insta: @tayo_gt
