Season 3 of Real Talk with Akay launches with a deeply emotional and raw episode:

Episode 1: "Mental Health Matters : The Invisible Struggles of Our Youth" explores the quiet but heavy burdens carried by young people in townships like Kagiso — from anxiety and depression to trauma, poverty, and silence.

Akay speaks truth to power and later in the episode, Ms. Pulane Kapa joins live on a virtual call to share her personal journey, unpack critical mental health insights, and remind us why storytelling and safe spaces are essential to healing.

We talk:

The pressure of pretending to be okay

The stigma around mental illness in Black communities

How art, music, and faith play a role in healing

Why youth need support systems — not judgment

And how we build a culture that truly cares

This isn’t just a podcast. This is a movement.

Tap in. Be moved. Let’s heal together
