    Mindful Rewind: Mon Rovîa

    Going There with Dr. Mike is back with a brand new season of the biggest names in music having impactful, honest conversations about mental health. This season on Going There, look forward to guests including The Warning, Paris Paloma, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Marino, Matt Hansen, and more. This week we're opening the archives for a Mindful Rewind to one of our most engaging conversations from last season with singer-songwriter Mon Rovîa, exploring the profound and painful feeling of not belonging. The conversation begins with Mon unpacking the concept of reassuring ourselves that we are "meant to be here," set against the backdrop of his own life story. Born in the second Liberian Civil War and adopted by missionaries, Mon details his journey of navigating trauma and racism in America, which often led him to question his identity. The episode explores the weight of being a "token black kid," the silent anger that builds from microaggressions, and the danger of suppressing one’s feelings in an attempt to assimilate. The conversation delves into Mon’s candid experience with finding a path toward healing and self-acceptance. He shares how music became a form of "alchemy"—a way to take the broken pieces of his past and glue them together into something beautiful and strong. Mon discusses how reconnecting with his history in Liberia and reading authors like James Baldwin helped him build the confidence to "wear the cracks" of his trauma. The episode explores how this journey is reflected in his "Afro Appalachian folk" music, which aims to take the "nutrients" from painful experiences to create a new, authentic identity.
