Chasing Shadows: Men, Colorism, and the Fight for Sanity

Strap in, as we strip back the complexities of how the intricate layers of our life experiences can push some men to the edge of despair, to the point of contemplating suicide. We're sharing a raw, unfiltered conversation that grapples with the challenging topic of men's suicide and its triggering factors. We'll journey from the harsh realities of PTSD prevalent among veterans, the fear and stress of life in high-risk environments, through to the silent battles of those suffering from chronic illnesses and body image issues, and the unspoken mental torment resulting from financial pressure.
Expect a frank discourse on the impact of colorism within the black community, and the often-overlooked mental health stigma it perpetuates. As the conversation unfolds, we'll share personal stories of navigating unemployment post-service, the toll of living in constant fear, and the silent emotional outbursts stemming from financial stress. With each story, we aim to shed light, spark understanding, and inspire empathy.
Join us as we collectively unravel these complex issues in a thought-provoking and enlightening conversation. In the closing chapters, we touch on the importance of supportive friendships, the role of therapy, and the power of personal boundaries and healthy habits in managing mental health. We're not just talking; we're listening, learning, and hopefully, making a difference in the lives of those silently battling their demons. Step into our space, lend us your ears, and let's start to understand together.

Intro Lyrics

It’s Medium Ghetto

Intelligent, hood conversations, so why don’t come hang with the gang

Relatable topics, form coming up broke to the nonsense that all come along with these dames

From trust funds to trappin’, we cover it all, and with laughter

So, why don’t you come grab you a seat

From o’s to Othello, you know that we Medium Ghetto, and nothing can even compete

Outro Lyrics

It’s Medium Ghetto

And we thank y...
