SPADE: The Podcast
SPADE: The Podcast stands as a beacon of hope and understanding, addressing critical mental health challenges within the African American community. SPADE (Suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and Epilepsy) seeks to shine a light on topics often stigmatized and misunderstood. Our mission is to break the silence surrounding these issues, encouraging open dialogue and fostering a culture of support and education. By providing meaningful resources and sharing powerful stories, we aim to empower individuals to confront these challenges head-on and build pathways toward healing. Mental health is a crucial but often overlooked subject in the African American community. It's time to dismantle the barriers of shame and stigma, ensuring everyone feels safe to speak their truth and seek the help they need. This podcast is more than just a platform—it's a movement to spark change, spread awareness, and inspire action within families, friendships, and communities. RSSVERIFY

Send us a textWelcome everyone to the conclusion of my season finale episode, I'm Not My Skin. This episode is based on the topic of colorism. I chose this topic for my season finale episode because this is a touchy subject among African Americans. Colorism may not be a topic that is a threat to society, but it is a threat to our community. The relentless comparison whether you are beautiful because of your skin color is a threat to our mental health. It's time for us to unite instead of dividing. The artist that I'm going to feature for part one and part two is Deejay Young. His song perfectly fits the theme of this episode. He is available on all music streaming platforms, please go support. Hope you guys enjoy this episode and see you guys in a few months.SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), or TTY: 1-800-487-4889[The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration]National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255)I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTSNO COPYRIGHT INTENDEDLikeness · Deejay YoungPrimitive℗ 2020 Deejay YoungReleased on: 2020-07-31Support the showCheck out my website, and remember to subscribe/follow my social media to get notifications for new content being released weekly!

Send us a textOn this episode I wanted to shed light on suicide awareness. According to the World Health Organization close to 800 000 people die due to suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. The highest suicide rates in the US are among Whites, American Indians and Alaska Natives. While African Americans rate are lower, they are steadily rising, especially within our younger generation. My panel will share their personal stories on how they overcame their struggles with suicidal thoughts. I hope you guys enjoy this episode. If you are dealing with suicidal thoughts please don't be afraid to talk with someone! The artist I'm featuring this week is my friend and a talented r&b singer Keeyen Martin. He's available on all music streaming services.
