Gospel singer Exodus has embarked on a campaign he baptized “Toli Wekka, Break The Stigma” to fight drug abuse and create mental health awareness across the country.
He explained that he experienced the mental health issue challenge about seven years back. When he recently opened up about his struggles, he received overwhelming comments from the public applauding him for speaking up.
Exodus believes several individuals are struggling and going through hard times while dealing with mental health issues that need to be addressed and helped to get out of the situation.
He considers mental health challenges as a pandemic that has eaten up the globe and needs to be taken seriously by the government.
He adds that the individuals affected the most by the issue are the creatives who often fear to speak up for fear of being bashed by the media and other critics.
I’m on a campaign to create awareness so the public can get to learn what mental health is or issues that deal and concern with thoughts. When I went through this challenge about 7 years ago and narrated my story two months back, we got about 5000 comments from different individuals thanking us for opening up about the dangers of mental health.
That implied to me that so many people are going through the same challenge but fear to open up based on how the public will judge them espicially those in the creative arts. Mental health issue is a global pandemic that we had not embraced yet. Exodus
