One convo with Ontonio got me together and got me to lock in and start @Mellofluence. He is constantly working to improve black access to mental health care. Creates spaces for Black men who have difficulties with their mental health.
Living a life of impact. Speaking last Saturday to a group of men at Ayati Men, Eat and Connect event. We discuss a reality of issues affecting men's mental health and looked at strategies to improve mental health. This was great! #Speakblackman #Seedsforsuccess

Presented my research today at the BPS: Male Psychology Section Conference. So happy to share the stories of Black Fathers raising Black sons. (Publication in the works!). My favourite part was sharing the process and power of Participatory Action Research. #maleconf2024

Wonderful way to spend a Saturday attending the Community Trauma Conference UK: Black Men, Trauma & Mental Health. Inspired by all of the key note speakers and research presentations. An opportunity to re-connect with why work in this area is so important #CommunityTraumaConf23

Please RT! Would any clinical psychologists be interested in supervising a project around the well-being of Black girls and young women? An interest in creative research methods preferred!
