Manned Up Conversations
Manned Up Conversations is a dynamic platform committed to fostering open, honest, and transformative discussions among men from all walks of life. Our mission is to challenge outdated notions of masculinity and provide a safe space where men can freely explore their emotions, experiences, and struggles without fear of judgment.
Through insightful content and interactive dialogue, Manned Up Conversations encourages personal growth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful change in the lives of men across Africa and beyond.
We envision a world where men break free from societal expectations, embracing vulnerability and emotional well-being as strengths rather than weaknesses. By promoting open conversations and a culture of mutual support, we empower men to lead more authentic, fulfilling lives—positively impacting their communities, relationships, and future generations.

The Stigma Around Mental Health and Male Suicide with Nkini Phasha
Ever wonder why there's so much secrecy around mental health in the black community? Well, in this episode we unpack and discuss some of the stigma around mental health and male suicide by highlighting some of the common causes and preventative measures we can take in helping ourselves or our loved ones who might be struggling with one or more of these mental health issues.
To inform and educate us on this topic, I'm joined by South Anxiety and Depression Group board member Nkini Phasha who has been working with the organization and communities over the past 20 years to educate people about the importance of taking care of our mental wellbeing.
