Kabomo Vilakazi is one of South Africa's super talented and multi  dimensional individual - from an artist, poet, producer, scriptwriter,  director, author, musical director and composer just to name a few,.   We get to sit down with him and get to know the man behind all this  accolades - we get to know him a bit better, understand who he is, where  he hails from, why this path he is on now and what we can expect from  him in the future

In this special episode, we get to interrogate and speak to men and some  women about how safe is it for men in modern society to be vulnerable  and open up about their struggle with mental wellness and go for  therapy. Why is it "frowned upon" for men (black men in particular) to  come out and say I am struggling with certain issues in my life? Why are  we not making it okay for people to speak out.

What should we do as men to start opening up and creating safer spaces  with our own circle of friendships and brotherhood? Why do we find it  hard to speak up, why are we only comfortable to share our successes and  achievements, yet we fail at being vulnerable with our peers

This episode is just the chip of the iceberg, a conversation starter  which I hope will ignite change and action amongst men
