Because G’d Said So

RAW, UNCUT, UNAPOLOGETIC: Black Men, Mental Health & the Battle Beyond the Game – with Hyfa & Ty

Season 1 Episode 4

Description:
This episode of Because G’d Said So goes RAW, UNCUT, and UNAPOLOGETIC about the mental health crisis facing Black men today. Aseelah sits down with Hyfa and Ty for a brutally honest conversation on depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder — and the dangerous coping methods too many brothers turn to, from street drugs to alcohol, that only make the pain worse.

Ty shares his own deeply personal journey as an active sports enthusiast, pushing himself to play both football and basketball on a broken heel, hoping for a bench break — only to end up with a major injury that left him immobile, facing surgery, and sidelined for over a year. The physical pain was one battle, but the mental toll was another — one that far too many Black men fight in silence.

This isn’t a highlight reel conversation. It’s a real-life deep dive into the struggles, the stigma, and the steps to healing for Black men under pressure — in sports, in life, and in legacy building.
