What does Speak Mental mean? Speak Mental is to change the narrative by generating conversations to challenge and reframe stigma, ignorance, and personal biases.

Who am I? I’m a black queer man who wants to make a difference in the world. My dreams and aspirations include advocating for youth, mental health, and equality, along with other areas of life, while branding myself as a humanitarian. I enjoy creating safe spaces to engage others in educated conversations that challenge social constructs, learned behaviors, and ideologies. I believe that generating conversations to educate the masses on various topics (race, gender equality, education, hypermasculinity, toxic masculinity, the LGBTQIA community, mental health, love, relationships, communication, etc) is one way to fight against preconceptions while decreasing ignorance. The goal is to build the mind by reshaping schemas and processing with others how to view the world from a different perspective. I believe that change has to start somewhere, so change starts with me. I pledge to Speak Mental.
