‘We are losing these young black boys to an idea’ | Pt 3/3

Impacting Jamaica

Sadiki Harris, a child of Jamaican parents, is now a man fighting to keep his black community healthy through the organization, Black Thrive. His journey has brought up powerful questions, like ‘what is the black man?’ and ‘where does the idea of what a black man is come from?’. As he speaks to Impacting Jamaica’s Sinai Fleary, his work with Black Thrive and mental health takes an ever-so-slight detour, and he delves into deep-routed issues like what the ideal of a black man should be. But he comes full circle in what is the final episode in a three-part series and the work of Black Thrive is seen for what it is, incredibly necessary.
