Bison Dele, born Brian Williams, was a natural born athlete, a first round NBA draft pick, and an NBA champion, until his final seasons with the Detroit Pistons when he decided to walk away from his career after battling with depression. He was living his best life until July of 2002, when Dele, his girlfriend and the captain of his boat went missing. Erika takes us through Dele’s rise to his career as a professional athlete and his strange disappearance after reconnecting with his estranged brother and discusses the stigmatization of mental illness in the world of professional sports.
While we sip on some tea from Starbucks today, we are supporting our friends and neighbors at @CoffeeHipHopAndMentalHealth. They are working hard at building a permanent location and headquarters in the city of Chicago. Since 2020, the brand has fed more than 10,000 families, provided weekly group therapy to nearly 1,000 people and 10 free therapy sessions to over 100 individuals each. Their goal is to be able to provide therapy to those who need it most, and to those who don’t have access to it, or don’t even know where to start.
