In an exclusive clip from the upcoming episode of OWN’s Ready to Love, cast member Cam opens up about his struggles with mental health. This powerful moment highlights the growing importance of discussing mental health among men, particularly Black men, who often face societal pressures to keep their emotions and challenges hidden.

As Cam speaks candidly with his fellow cast members, the clip offers a rare glimpse into the internal conflicts many men experience as they navigate emotional and mental obstacles in different life stages. The episode sheds some light on the struggles faced by men as they move through what could be described as the three stages of life: the thinker, the Knower, and the Doer.

Mental health discussions, especially among men, have long been marginalized or ignored. The Ready to Love platform provides an important space to normalize these conversations, showcasing the vulnerability and strength of men willing to acknowledge that they don’t always have the answers to life’s complex emotional and mental challenges. By sharing Cam’s story, the show contributes to breaking down the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, encouraging others to open up and seek support.

This exclusive clip, which we’re debuting courtesy of OWN, before the episode airs this Friday, is a critical step in addressing these issues that men face, particularly within communities where seeking help has often been stigmatized. We’re grateful to OWN for allowing us to debut this important moment, offering viewers a chance to witness a breakthrough in the ongoing conversation about mental wellness.
