In this soul-stirring episode of The Check-In, host NeAndre Broussard—founder and CEO of Black Menswear—sits down with public intellectual, artist, and creator Charity Croff for a raw conversation on mental health, identity, faith, and the freedom to be fully yourself. Charity opens up about a dark season of passive suicidal thoughts and the moment everything shifted: “We become what we think about.” From there, he breaks down how affirmations, movement, and consistent mental “reps” (aka brainwashing yourself with what edifies you) reprogrammed his life—and how anyone can do the same. Together, we peel back the four layers—appearance, mindset, foundation, and core—while exploring: ✨ How to take 100% ownership of your mind (and stop letting the world program you) ✨ Practical tools: movement, creativity, and repetition to climb out of depressive ruts ✨ Why anger can be a bridge from shame to courage—then into peace and joy ✨ Building community that tells the truth, holds you down, and helps you grow ✨ Reconciling “both of ’em”: intellect and culture, faith and art, business and purpose ✨ The business of being a polymath—why the next era belongs to multi-hyphenates ✨ Creating from integrity (not just a “personal brand”) so the work fuels you instead of draining you ✨ Love, devotion, and partnership as mutual “watering” that overflows into purpose If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or anyone navigating the tension between who you are and who the world rewards, this conversation will give you language, tools, and courage. Come for the gems on faith, focus, and freedom—leave ready to be fully you. 📌 Don’t miss it—this one’s a blueprint for mindset mastery, authentic living, and community that heals. 👍🏾 Like, ✍🏾 comment, and 🔔 subscribe for more culture-driven conversations that pour back into our people.
