📝 Poetry can offer a way to put difficult experiences into words.

Mandem, Let’s Talk is a free South-East London workshop run by black-led charity Poetic Unity where men use spoken word to discuss mental health, identity, masculinity and the social pressures they face.

Research by the Priory Group found that 77% of men surveyed had experienced symptoms of anxiety, stress or depression, while 40% said they had never spoken to anyone about their mental health.

Three black creatives share how they use poetry to confront personal challenges, challenge harmful stereotypes and explain why writing gives them space to be heard.
