Welcome to Mental Not Mental Podcast, a show where the mental health and wellness of black Americans is given a strong and powerful voice. Join me, Marquis Evans as we shine a light on the mental mine field of being born with darker skin and how our physical attributes can become our mental shackles.

In this episode we take a break from interviewing guest and do a case study on what it's like to be the only black person in any given situation. I scour the internet and my own person experience to point out ten things that serve as a great moment of education and reflection.
In this week's episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing my sister, Airyal Seward. We share the story of the start of our friendship, our spiritual journeys, and discuss what its like to live with unwanted expectations.
In this episode we discuss the disappearance of a protester in Tallahassee, the black family structure here in America and a possible solution to answering, "why do black men not step up to protect black women?"

On this episode of Mental Not Mental I do my best to explain and illustrate a tiny piece of the reality black Americans face every single day. Join the conversation by emailing us and become apart of our ever growing audience.
A very small taste of what this show is, who its for and why I wanted to create it. I have a passion for my people and through the real conversation I believe that passion will help turn the tide in someone's life.
