Listen on

Episode notes

In the third of the mini series, I'm joined by Lewis Wedlock, a Bristol born mental health professional, lecturer and activist. He is one of the youngest lecturers in the UK at 23 years old.

We discuss

• Activism being a life's work: Bristols toppled statues, collective burnout
• Identity issues: Lewis questioning his blackness & accepting himself
• Mental health: The effects in the young people
• Ownership: Living with Type 1 Diabetes & looking after yourself meticulously and letting your hair down
• Reflection: Lewis' idea of talking to his three inner children to improve his mental health

This mini-series of Ryan Nile Show is dedicated to Alex Holmes debut book, which is available from April 1st Pre-order Time to Talk: How Men Think About Love, Belonging and Connection
