In honor of Men’s Mental Health Month this June, we tackle a conversation that every modern man needs to hear: How to take responsibility as a man, master self-care, and break the silence around mental well-being. Joining us in the studio is Nollywood actor Chuks Joseph. In this exclusive "Get to Know Me" segment, Chuks opens up about fun facts, his personal definition of manhood, accountability, and how he navigates mental health under the spotlight. If you are a man dealing with silent battles, remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Take responsibility for your mind, check in on your brothers, and let's break the stigma together.
