In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, BET Media Group has released a powerful new episode of its award-winning digital series, For The Fellas, creating much-needed space for Black men to speak openly about mental health, trauma, and healing.

Hosted by Brian “B-Mac” McIntosh, this latest episode features a heartfelt conversation with platinum-selling rapper G Herbo, Emmy Award-winning actor Rome Flynn, and licensed therapist Kier Gaines. Together, they dive deep into the emotional realities that often go unspoken among men in the Black community.

“This episode is about breaking cycles, breaking silence, and building each other up,” says host B-Mac.

From battling stigma to navigating therapy, For The Fellas is offering more than just dialogue—it’s opening the door for healing, accountability, and connection. With over 30 million views to date, the series continues to prove just how vital and timely these conversations are.

This isn’t just for celebrities—this is for fathers, sons, brothers, friends… for the fellas in our lives who need to know it’s okay to not be okay.

Matt’s been in the media game his whole life. He kicked things off at WOVI, his high school station in Novi, MI, then hit the airwaves at Impact 89FM while at Michigan State. But after realizing he didn’t quite have the voice for radio, he made the jump to TV—spending 23 years working for CBS, FOX, and NEWSnet. Now, he’s come full circle, back in radio as Detroit’s Digital Program Director, making noise behind the scenes and keeping things running strong online.
