Diary of a Mad Black Man Podcast artwork

I started this podcast as a diary in October 2019 after I almost died. After being released from the hospital, I found hope for life again through God, Therapy and Podcasting. Soon after feeling "healthy" again, the Global Pandemic of 2020 shut the world down. The mental anguish I endured is partially shown through diary entries and podcast episodes. As of August 2024, by the Grace of God, I am still living. God + Therapy + Podcasting = Saved my Life.

In this moment, I still do not have it all together, and honestly, I am not sure if I ever will. However, I am glad that I was able to tell my story. I just hope someone else finds the ability to overcome and find a wa
