"I help Black men turn personal adversity into professional and societal advocacy. Through my keynotes, I challenge the stigma around mental health, build emotional and psychological safety at work, and show how resilience can transform lives and workplaces."
With over 35 years' experience as a mental health and resilience expert, I’ve equipped over 1,000 organisations with the tools to build safe and thriving workplaces. From construction sites to corporate boardrooms, I specialise in helping Black men develop mental toughness and rise above adversity to lead with strength and authenticity.
"As a Black man who faced imprisonment for standing against injustice in South Africa, and having survived a mental health crisis following a painful divorce, I know firsthand the impact of suppressed pain. My experience taught me to “Face it, Embrace it, Defy it, and Conquer it,” - a philosophy that has become the foundation of my message and my mission. I now teach others to transform pain into power."
