Send us a text

In this powerful live segment with 23andMe, Raheem DeVaughn opens up about mental health, family bonds, and his personal journey of caregiving. Raheem shares intimate stories about his father’s battle with schizophrenia and the strength it took to step up as his caregiver until his father’s passing.
The conversation touches on the importance of “homework” in therapy, where Raheem emphasizes practicing new habits outside of the therapy room to face life’s challenges differently. He also reveals his connection to his West African roots and reflects on the unique experience of being Black in America, calling for more safe spaces and support systems within the community.
His message to Black men is profound: “You’re not alone.” Through prayer, action, and a refusal to judge others, Raheem reminds us to approach mental health with empathy and understanding, saying, “Try not to call anybody crazy, because you don’t know what they’ve been through.”
Tune in for a deeply moving episode that sheds light on mental health, legacy, and building a stronger, supportive community.
