Melary shares how to engage ethnic and marginalised people during the Covid pandemic #75

The Mic Drop Club welcomes, Melary Kapapiro to show - a great friend and a rare Mental Health leader that is not afraid to challenge stereotypes in the pursuit of making positive changes to improve health and wellbeing.
Melary breaks down the core issues behind covid vaccination hesitancy in Black and ethnic minorities in the UK. Offering areas for government and local community focus with practical solutions explored e.g. gamification in health.
The role of community leaders to debunk the vaccination myths.
How to provide a safe place for people to express their concern for vaccinations whilst respecting cultural beliefs and norms.
Winning the hearts and minds of citizens to drive the vaccination programme.
It’s not shocking to hear that ‘Control’ is a major issue concerning the vaccination programme, this view was shared by Novak Djokovic resulted in deportation from Australia. We even have time to recap the Naomi Osaka 2021 saga - when she was slated by the press for not providing a post-match interview to protect her mental health.
This remains one of my favourite conversations in 2021. I thought this great discussion was lost, however, through a stroke of luck and good fortune, I found it on an old SSD drive.
 
Enjoy 
 
Thank you Melary for sharing a great conversation
 
Whatever your beliefs , just try to be on the right side of history X

DMX Revelations On Addictions - Fan Reaction #72

RIP Earl Simmons (December 18, 1970 – April 9, 2021), aka DMX ("Dark Man X"),  who sadly passed away in White Plains, New York, USA.Condolences strength and love to all his family -  Legend! DMX battled with drug addiction to crack cocaine when he was 14 years old, after Ready Ron tricked him into smoking a marijuana cigarette laced with the drug. He also said that he had bipolar disorder. These challenges eventually contributing to his early death. DMX's talent was supreme - rapper-actor, the impromptu pastor he connected with people through his sincere, transparent approach.   We salute the GREAT DMX and dedicate this show to celebrate his impact on our lives whilst discussing addictions and how we can better support people struggling with this crisis. This Conversation is to open your heart and also provide solutions.
Enjoy!
