Understanding the Unique Stigma of Minority Mental Health
There is a unique stigma that surrounds minority mental health. Don’t get me wrong, mental health in general is stigmatized, but there’s a different stigma when it comes to the black community.
We are a culture of honor. We don’t like to be disrespected. And that doesn’t sound like a bad thing, but if we’re not careful, it can become one of the mental health barriers that we face. When we admit that we’re struggling with mental illness or disorders like depression, we can start to feel like we’re disrespecting ourselves.
Mental health stigma awareness is crucial in empowering people to get the help they need.
In this mental health stigma video, I share about this unique stigma in minority cultures and communities. I also talk about the role that the strong black man plays in this stigma. I’ve shared about the perception and idea of the “strong black man” in a previous blog post linked below. As we address the stigma, there’s a need for us to redefine what it means to be healthy, strong, and whole.
There are also a few minority mental health tips I share that I believe are important for change, as well as a few things we can do to improve the situation for black and brown youth and the community as a whole.

Prostate Cancer: The Prostate Exam Stigma Among Men Of Color
In this informative video, patient advocate Mike Veny sits down with Tyrone Brewer, President of US Oncology for Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine division, to discuss the crucial issue of prostate cancer among men of color. Together, they delve into important topics such as the stigma surrounding prostate cancer among men of color, mental health implications for cancer patients, and the significance of health literacy among men of color.
Tyrone also shares his experience working with Shannon Sharpe, a well-known public figure who battled prostate cancer and kept his diagnosis private. Additionally, they stress the importance of regular prostate exams, which can greatly reduce the likelihood of prostate cancer becoming terminal. This conversation is especially relevant as Mike Veny and Tyrone Brewer participated in the 2024 Blue Jacket Fashion Show for Zero Prostate Cancer, sponsored by Johnson & Johnson. Don’t miss this eye-opening discussion about prostate cancer and overall health among men of color.
NOTE: Tyrone Brewer is walking the runway at the Blue Jacket Fashion Show, and Mike Veny was an attendee.
Mike Veny understands stigma well, especially the mental health stigma in the black community. He hopes that men who want to prevent prostate cancer watch this video and schedule a prostate exam.
