In this special episode of No Crystal Stair Podcast, Habeebah pays tribute to her beloved brother, Hashim Rasheed, by welcoming the first male guest to the show. Habeebah sits down with Archie Green, widely known as The Cope Dealer, a remarkable individual who is a son, mental health advocate, hip-hop artist, and the founder of Peel Dem Layers Back—a non-profit organization with a mission to educate, empower, and equip Black men and boys with the essential tools needed to live mentally healthy lives through healing hang-outs and cultural artistic expression, all while representing the hip-hop culture.
During their conversation, Archie shares with listeners the challenges arising from the lack of available Black male therapists or therapists of color. He courageously opens up about his personal journey and shares how having access to a Black male mental health professional helped him begin to understand his mental health needs, allowing him ultimately to transform the pain of living with major depressive disorder into a purposeful song called "Layers," which quickly went viral.
Archie invites listeners to reconsider the value of therapy, emphasizing the importance of honesty and trust within the therapeutic relationship. He passionately encourages individuals to embrace the power of vulnerability, highlighting how our stories of resilience can offer hope and inspiration to others navigating their own challenges.
Listeners are encouraged to support the work of Archie's organization, Peel Dem Layers Back and to connect with the work he is doing at NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness).
