About Suffering in Silence
A guide born from real conversations and a belief that mental health care should be ordinary, not exceptional.
The Story Behind the Book
Suffering in Silence grew out of years of conversations I had with the Black men in my life — brothers, cousins, partners — and from a stubborn belief that care should be ordinary, not exceptional.
This book is a guide: no-nonsense tools, crisis resources, real stories, and community ideas you can use today. It's for men, for loved ones, and for communities ready to change the way we talk about strength.

For Communities
Ready to change how we talk about strength and vulnerability
Why This Matters
Mental health isn't just a personal issue — it's a community issue. When we create spaces for honest conversation about depression, anxiety, and trauma, we don't just help individuals heal. We strengthen families, relationships, and entire communities.
This book challenges the cultural scripts that tell men to suffer in silence. It offers a different path — one where seeking help is seen as strength, where vulnerability is courage, and where healing becomes possible.
