    Courtney B. Vance & The Invisible Ache

    An especially powerful presentation, Oprah sits down with Tony and two-time Emmy winner Courtney B. Vance and Dr. Robin Smith, a renowned psychologist, for a crucial discussion that asks the question, “How do we begin to uplift and empower Black men in a world that refuses to see their humanity?”  As co-authors of the book The Invisible Ache: Black Men Identifying Their Pain and Reclaiming their Power, Vance and Smith put a spotlight on the critical issue of mental health among Black men in America. The trio then speak live with a group of Black men from around the country, who share their own personal stories of struggle and survival. Want more podcasts from OWN?

    The Mental Health Crisis Affecting Black Men & Boys

    In The Invisible Ache, actor Courtney B. Vance and psychologist Dr. Robin L. Smith examine the mental health crisis affecting Black men and boys. According to the CDC, the rate of suicide among Black men and boys "is accelerating faster than any other group in the United States," Dr. Robin says. She attributes the rise to historical racial trauma, compounded by the current nationwide epidemic of loneliness and isolation. Vance lost both his father and his godson to suicide. He has spent years trying to understand the pain his father suffered in silence, and to heal the generational trauma. Also, jazz critic Kevin Whitehead reviews a new album by pianist Angelica Sanchez. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy
