Dear World,

Mental health issues are heavily disregarded in most African societies, especially for men.

Mental health issues are heavily disregarded in most African societies, especially for men.

Men are supposed to be strong physically, emotionally, and psychologically. This involves suppressing emotions, like crying.
Having been a victim of mental health issues personally, I recognise the need to help my family, friends, and colleagues.

How? Simply by checking in. I have been reaching out to my friends via chats and video calls to check up on them, and offer them psychological and financial support where possible. Knowing we aren’t alone is often the most important support we can offer.

Making is keeping me sane; I spend my time shooting small videos at home with the help of my photographer cousin.

I choose to hold on and spread the message of hope. It’s hard right now. And we need each other more than we ever have.
Keep your people close.

Real Freedom Is The Freedom Of The Mind.


Sincerely,

Uncage My Mind
