Length: 47 minutes

Episode 3 Part 2 - Black don't crack, do we?

Black don't crack, Black is gold. However, we struggle too, we are humans too.

The expectations surrounding Black masculinity include being strong and stoic, thereby expecting them to mask their emotions including their struggle with mental health.

However, being exposed to racism and discrimination, yet daring to be successful in a very white world can take a toll on anyone. But how can Black men begin to speak up and seek for help? Sam talks about embracing therapy even though it may be seen as an alien concept for most Naija and other African immigrants?
