Birthed out of his pain, Anthony Duncan founded Dead The Silence with his friend Osadeba Omokaro to end the mental health stigma and provide a safe space for people to talk about mental health after losing his sister to suicide. Osadeba shared how he struggled with suicidal thoughts and says that his work with Dead The Silence afforded him the opportunity to connect with others and educate the community.
