Summary

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?
