Show Notes
I'm joined by Nathan Addai, an award-nominated illustrator and founder of Mental Roots a multimedia platform and podcast to help raise awareness, educate, and empower black people's mental health. Nathan incredible short film, openly discusses the common fears and stigmas of mental health issues among young black men, which was featured on BBC and nationwide.
Nathan opens up to me about being a young black British person and seeing a massive lack of representation in the animation industry, both in the UK and worldwide. I recently learned that over 23% of Black British people experience a mental health problem, compared to 17% of white British people. We have a really open and honest conversation about this to better understand the issue.
