Season 3 of Real Talk with Akay launches with a deeply emotional and raw episode:
Episode 1: "Mental Health Matters : The Invisible Struggles of Our Youth" explores the quiet but heavy burdens carried by young people in townships like Kagiso — from anxiety and depression to trauma, poverty, and silence.
Akay speaks truth to power and later in the episode, Ms. Pulane Kapa joins live on a virtual call to share her personal journey, unpack critical mental health insights, and remind us why storytelling and safe spaces are essential to healing.
We talk:
The pressure of pretending to be okay
The stigma around mental illness in Black communities
How art, music, and faith play a role in healing
Why youth need support systems — not judgment
And how we build a culture that truly cares
This isn’t just a podcast. This is a movement.
Tap in. Be moved. Let’s heal together
