About this listen

SPADE: The Podcast stands as a beacon of hope and understanding, addressing critical mental health challenges within the African American community. SPADE (Suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and Epilepsy) seeks to shine a light on topics often stigmatized and misunderstood. Our mission is to break the silence surrounding these issues, encouraging open dialogue and fostering a culture of support and education. By providing meaningful resources and sharing powerful stories, we aim to empower individuals to confront these challenges head-on and build pathways toward healing. Mental health is a crucial but often overlooked subject in the African American community. It's time to dismantle the barriers of shame and stigma, ensuring everyone feels safe to speak their truth and seek the help they need. This podcast is more than just a platform—it's a movement to spark change, spread awareness, and inspire action within families, friendships, and communities.

  • Black History Isn't Trending: It's Bleeding Part One
    Feb 22 2026

    Yoo what's up everyone, I’m back! Hello 2026 and Happy Black History Month! I’m pumped to share the mic with two friends and first time guest, Sale’h and Chelly, for a special episode that goes beyond facts into urgent action.

    Today we’re breaking down some heavy topics: a racist meme targeting the Obamas, the unequal responses we see to racialized imagery, and the recent deadly shootings by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis that have shaken communities and sparked national outrage.

    We’ll talk about how these events reflect systemic neglect of Black grief — and we’ll walk through real, practical steps our communities can take for change. Hold on fam, this one’s controversial!
