On this episode, I am interviewing Grammy-nominated poet, Shawn William. He opens up about his childhood and what led him to his suicide attempt as a teenager. He is an open book during this conversation. Black men need safe spaces and I wanted you to hear his story. 

Shawn has a performance coming up at the end of the month. He also shares some resources for men who need safe spaces here in the Bay Area. Follow Shawn on IG at @iamshawnwilliam for more information.

If you are currently battling suicidal ideation, please know you are not alone. Seek help and know that there is hope. Talking about it does help. Believe me. 

If you don't have someone you can talk to, please call 988. 

You are seen. You are loved.

Sincerely, 
Eternity Echo James
