‘Just A Conversation’ (Spotlight Series) w/ ‘Acts On Stage’

Welcome back to another episode of ‘Just a Conversation’

Today Robel is joined by three incredible brothers from ‘Acts On Stage’ – Jeremy Rubin (writer), Isiah Anderson Jr. (director), and Josh Webb (actor) – representing three different generations of Black men who’ve come together for their powerful production “Black Man Goes to Therapy.”

This conversation gets real about mental health, vulnerability, and how the stories we carry can either hold us back or move us forward.

What We Cover:
• Why Black men struggle with seeking mental health support
• How theater creates safe spaces for healing and vulnerability
• The importance of multi-generational conversations about mental health
• Breaking down stigmas in the Black community around therapy
• The creative process behind bringing sensitive topics to the stage
• How community and brotherhood support mental wellness

Key Takeaway: “We put on these masks because we feel like we have to fit in. How exhausting is that? The hope is that people can start having conversations with loved ones and be okay being vulnerable.”

Perfect timing for Mental Health Awareness Month – this conversation could save lives.
