For people with depression, for Black People with depression, for Ghanaian-Canadians with depression this is for you. In this episode I got a chance to sit down with Kwasi Adu-Poku, creator of The Reach Series (IG @TheReachSeries). Kwasi isn’t shy when it comes to discussions around mental health, his advocacy work around destigmatizing mental health, personal development support, and very relatable love for anime has helped numerous people in the GTA. In this episode, we delve into Kwasi’s experience with depression as we talk about the ins and outs, the social determinants, the interpersonal, the romantic, and even the silver linings of depression.
