BMT Youth: Mental Health Journeys

BMT (Black Man‘s Time) is an immersive live experience that celebrates the ‘awesome everyday’ stories of black men. Past events have featured luminaries such as Doc Brown, Chris Preddie OBE and Justin Marosa. This event was part of an ongoing Mental Health series and shared the stories of three young black men and their mental health journeys, through poetry. The event took place in the Reading Room of the prestigious Wellcome Collection and was hosted by BMT founder Alain 'Fusion' Clapham. Poets were joined on stage by leading figures from London’s poetry scene Esi Yankey (Poetry Prescribed), Fisky (Mind Over Matter) and Broken Pen (Artist), who worked with the young men involved on specially commissioned pieces.
