This time, we are excited to welcome Benjamin Bankole Bello to open the door on his mental health experiences.

Benjamin, a British-born Nigerian comedian, storyteller, and cultural critic whose creation — President Obonjo of Lafta Republic — has transcended comedy for over a decade and a half.

As he enters the Hurt Locker, Benjamin, leaving his uniform to one side, openly shares his reflections and experiences of seeing two different cultures for what they are and aren't, and how they have affected his mental health.

*TRIGGER WARNING* This open conversation shares references to divorce, racism, and colonialism.

If you are experiencing mental health issues, please do reach out for help - phone 999 for an emergency, or if you would like to speak to someone, call The Samaritans on 116 123.

Please also check out The Hub of Hope to find mental health support in your local area in the UK.
