And this is why this podcast exists.Yeah No, I'm Not Ok, my new podcast made in collaboration with LAist Studios, is here to open up the conversation about mental health. Today, young people of color are disproportionately affected by mental health issues and are not getting the resources they need, and I want to change that. Yet pretty much everyone was affected by it. Mental health just wasn't something that anyone in my family or community talked about or even had access to. Growing up, I was taught to say that I was 'ok' when I really wasn't. With a real and emotional sound and few easy answers, Yeah No, I'm Not Ok will hopefully become a critical show in a critical time, a place for you to bring your complicated feelings and spend time with people who are rooting for you.– Diane Guerrero What will feel like simple conversations among friends will really become a complex narrative of what is happening right now, especially to young people of color.

One where we're not ashamed of our own human experience. A movement that can start by talking about how we feel.

We want to start a mental health revolution. Every week we will explore issues that youth face all over the world (addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide, radical self love, and much much more) through conversations with friends, colleagues, activists, artists and health care professionals, all people who have gone through something life-changing and are now healing from it.
