EP 40| Men's Mental Health & Community w/ Nana Dankwah

In this insightful episode, Tosan and Moyo are joined by Nana Dankwah, co-host of the Juxtaposition Podcast and creator of Nana’s Lense, to have an honest conversation about men’s mental health and the importance of building a supportive community.

They explore what community truly looks like for men and why it’s often difficult for men to express vulnerability and emotions openly. The discussion dives into how healthy friendships and emotional connections can significantly impact men’s mental well-being, and they reflect on how cultural norms and societal expectations play a role in shaping male mental health.

Nana also shares practical advice on proactively nurturing male friendships, creating spaces for open dialogue, and the steps he’s taken to build meaningful connections. If you’ve ever wondered why community is essential for men—or how to support the men in your life—this episode is packed with real stories, heartfelt insights, and actionable tips.
