Micah is a South London-born actor and the writer of One Brother — a moving short film that sheds light on mental health, poverty, family, and the pressures that can lead young people into crime. In this episode, Micah shares his personal story of growing up with a father who has schizophrenia, the impact of his environment, and why he believes in telling stories that humanise instead of stereotype.

We speak about:

• Why One Brother was created and the message behind it

• Life after prison and the struggle to rebuild

• The stigma surrounding mental health in Black communities

• What it means to be a role model when you didn’t have one growing up

• The power of changing your perspective when you're stuck

  
  

Micah also reflects on what he’d say to anyone feeling trapped by their environment or mental health struggles — and it’s something we all need to hear.

🎬 One Brother premieres on YouTube on August 20th — keep an eye out.
