Helping Black Men Overcome Mental and Social Challenges

Author, speaker, drummer, and mental health advocate Mike Veny gave
us a personal perspective of his journey with mental health issues
from childhood into adulthood. He is now an accomplished
entrepreneur as a result of finding his life's purpose through his
mental illness. Michael Singleton, restaurateur, sat in the studio
to discuss his plan to build a personal legacy using his gift of
creating masterful food dishes, and giving back to the community
through his efforts. He is currently building a Cajun chicken and
seafood business from the ground up, with a background that
includes incarceration, single parent-hood, and childhood behavior
issues. Lastly, Loren Taylor is a business consultant and
entrepreneur, who decided to take his civil responsibility to a
higher level, by running for city council District 6 in Oakland,
CA. (Vote Nov 6!). He shares with us his own fears about making the
leap into business and the political arena. We have the discussion
with the goal to help men face fears, examine and heal their minds
and emotions, and to take the leap to work for self or serve their
community through civil service, to attain self-sufficiency and
empowerment. Be encouraged, be inspired, be balanced with Mental
Speak.
