"I've been sectioned four times"

Richie Brave and guests with the biggest group chat of the week. @1Xtra on social

Following the recent unrest in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Richie is joined by broadcaster and facilitator Ola Majekodunmi from Dublin and Irish-African artist and Community Leader Tura Arutura. They discuss how people of colour are feeling across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland amidst heightened racial tensions.

For Men's Mental Health Week, rapper, author and mental health advocate Shocka opens up about living with schizophrenia, being sectioned four times and why he's dedicated much of his time to challenging stigma around mental health in Black communities.

Richie also speaks to 1Xtra Future Figures alumnus and founder of The New Blxck, Brent Colthurst, about the evolution of Black podcasting in the UK and the future of Black media.

And finally, Marvyn Harrison, founder of Dope Black Dads, joins Richie to discuss fatherhood, modern masculinity, community support and why men need more spaces to talk openly about their mental health.
