3 Men Died Alone. Nobody Knew for Days. This Is Why. | Ajani Kingdom

Three men in my guest's life died alone last year. People were around them. Nobody knew for days. This is the conversation about silence we've been avoiding. In this episode I sit down with Ajani Kingdom — educator, author, founder of Brunch Brothers, and one of the most important voices on Black men's mental health in the UK. We talk about the mask, the cost of silence, what it actually looks like to build a table and invite men to it — and why "I'm fine" might be the most dangerous sentence a man can say.
