Brother, Breathe: Kevin Dedner on Black Mental Health

For Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m honored to welcome Kevin Dedner to Mr. Big Head Reads. Kevin is a nationally recognized public health executive, founder of Hurdle Health, and author of The Joy of the Disinherited — a moving collection of essays on trauma, oppression, and Black mental health.

In this episode, Kevin shares:

His personal journey navigating mental health as a Black man
The founding and impact of Hurdle Health
How joy and rest can be tools of resistance
Why culturally competent care is non-negotiable for equity

This is a must-listen for educators, DEI professionals, healthcare leaders, and anyone committed to mental wellness and systemic change.
