In this week's episode, photographer and Howard University graduate, Donald Darling and I discuss the often-overlooked and misunderstood terrain of men's emotions, the importance of self-care in maintaining mental health, how he turned his passion for photography into a business, and how we can all contribute to a society that is supportive and empathetic of one’s emotions, regardless of their gender.

We examine why it is crucial for men to express their emotions and make self-care a priority in order to achieve optimal well-being. Additionally, we discuss the importance of paying attention to red flags, the “halo effect”, how to best support men in your life who may be struggling with emotional difficulties, the importance of male podcasts providing a safe space for men to express themselves, cultural expectations when it comes to men sharing emotions or concerns, ways to check on your "strong friends" without being intrusive, the meaning of genuine friendship, and more. I also started a new segment called "Dat Nuh Sound Safe", which is as hilarious as it sounds. So grab your tea, coffee, or glass of wine, & let's talk di tings!
