Our Story

Hey there,
I wanted to take a moment to share a part of my story with you. It's a story of resilience, challenges, and the discovery of strength through creativity and passion. A few years ago, I found myself in a dark place. Like many men, I was silently struggling with my mental health. I felt the need to keep it hidden, as society often tells us that vulnerability is a weakness. I bought into that lie for far too long. Battling anxiety and depression, I felt isolated and unsure of where to turn. I believed that therapy wouldn't work because if I could barely understand my own feelings, how could I expect someone else to? Then, in April 2024, my world changed forever. I tragically lost my brother, who was only two years older than me, to mental health struggles. It was a devastating loss that shook me to my core. Looking back, I can't help but wonder if opening up about my own struggles could have made a difference. Maybe if I had shared my story, he would have felt comfortable doing the same, and together, we could have fought against the inevitable. Or sometimes, I think maybe if I had lost my battle before him, he would've found the strength to keep going, knowing that I had to live through him, just like I'm doing for him now.

This profound loss became the catalyst for the creation of MenMentalView. My ultimate goal is to cultivate a community where men who silently battle with mental health challenges can find solace, validation, and support. I understand the difficulty in finding the right words to express our emotions and thoughts. But I want you to know that it is perfectly okay to not feel okay. Taking steps towards healing and growth is crucial.

MenMentalView is more than just a clothing brand; it's a movement. When you wear MenMentalView, remember that you're not just wearing clothes. You're wearing a symbol of the battles you've fought or are currently fighting and the strength you carry. Each piece is designed to reflect the journey of mental health and serves as a reminder that you are not alone.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we can break the stigma surrounding men's mental health and build a community where vulnerability is seen as strength and where every man feels supported.

Rest In Peace Cedric🕊️
