Hey, there.
Speaker:Welcome back to So Curious, presented by the Franklin Institute.
Speaker:I'm the Bull Bey.
Speaker:And I'm Kirsten Michelle Cills.
Speaker:And we're your hosts.
Speaker:And today we're looking at a big, big, big topic identity.
Speaker:We are going to take a look at how our
Speaker:senses of who we are can impact our mental health and vice versa.
Speaker:Later, we'll be chatting with Grace
Speaker:Molloy, a licensed clinical social worker whose practice focuses on mental health
Speaker:services specifically for the LGBTQ plus community.
Speaker:But first, we're joined by photojournalist Octavio Jones to talk about his work that
Speaker:investigates this topic within the black community.
Speaker:I guess we should tackle the whole idea of identity first.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Bey, quick question, really low stakes question.
Speaker:Who are you?
Speaker:I'm an incredible hip hop artist from the
Speaker:dopest city on planet Earth, Philadelphia, PA. You know?
Speaker:That is exactly who you are. And Kirsten.
Speaker:Who are you?
Speaker:Who am I?
Speaker:I am Kirsten. Michelle Cills.
Speaker:I'm a stand up comic.
Speaker:I am a queer woman.
Speaker:I am a Birds fan.
Speaker:I am. Oh God. Who am I?
Speaker:Bey. Who am I?
Speaker:You tell me who I am. No, that's how it happens.
Speaker:I mean, after a while, you just have a little identity crisis.
Speaker:I'm this, and then you're like, what am I?
Speaker:You're like, I don't know anything for sure other than go birds.
Speaker:Well, now that we've sorted ourselves out,
Speaker:let's welcome our first guest, Octavio Jones.
Speaker:Octavio Jones, can you introduce yourself and what you do?
Speaker:I'm Octavio Jones.
Speaker:I am a freelance or independent visual
Speaker:photographer of visual journalist based here in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker:I've come from background of 15 years of
Speaker:journalism back in newspaper print experience.
Speaker:Now I delve into the world above being an
Speaker:independent photographer, still covering news, but also some commercial, and it
Speaker:encompasses all editorial work at this time.
Speaker:Wow, that's amazing. That's awesome.
Speaker:Well, it's wonderful to meet you.
Speaker:I'm Kirsten, and this is my co host. Yes.
Speaker:My name is the Bull Bey. You could just call me Bey.
Speaker:It's great to have you today.
Speaker:My first question for you is what drove you to pursue this career?
Speaker:How did you get into this?
Speaker:I was talking back to my cubicle days of
Speaker:being an HR benefits enrollment specialist.
Speaker:I was still confused, like, what I want to do.
Speaker:And even after doing college, I really kind of just picked any
Speaker:major. I was like hey let me just major in business administration.
Speaker:Right. Mhmm.
Speaker:So um. I love journalism during that time,
Speaker:and I wanted to see what photography was all about.
Speaker:And I just happened to come across a few websites that kind of specialize with
Speaker:these photographers that work for agencies like Magnum and Seven.
Speaker:I looked at the AP and see all these wonderful websites where we saw this
Speaker:incredible work, and I was like, yeah, I think I want to do that.
Speaker:Right?
Speaker:And I was like, hey, let me try this photo journalism thing.
Speaker:Right? I didn't really had any idea.
Speaker:I bought this N 90 Nikon film camera and I
Speaker:approached a couple of weekly newspapers that actually I just kind of told them
Speaker:that, hey, I think I want to be a photojournalist.
Speaker:Can you please let me take a weekly paper?
Speaker:Of course they said I didn't have any experience.
Speaker:So they was like, well, we can't pay you. That's fine.
Speaker:Mind you, I still had the HR job, so at
Speaker:least I had some to pay the bills with, right.
Speaker:So I think I just kind of fell in love
Speaker:with it, kind of being on the assignment, even though it's a weekly paper.
Speaker:But it gave me sort of like an introduction of what the career can be.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:I got to say I love, so Bey and I are both artists in Philly.
Speaker:I'm a stand up comic professionally.
Speaker:Bey is a rapper.
Speaker:So I love any story that starts with, I
Speaker:was sitting in my cubicle, and then cut to now I'm an artist.
Speaker:I love those stories.
Speaker:So our season this is our third season of the So Curious podcast.
Speaker:This season's theme is all about mental
Speaker:health, and I know that your work features the American narrative, right?
Speaker:Highlighting human challenges that we have, like racial tension, poverty,
Speaker:overall struggle, things that are pretty uniquely American in this country.
Speaker:Can you speak to those themes?
Speaker:Like, why is it so important for you
Speaker:personally to be documenting people's journeys?
Speaker:Because I believe that everyone has a story.
Speaker:Right? And when I go out and tell these stories,
Speaker:I try to latch on what is a common thread when I talk to the subject, right.
Speaker:And I try to go in those inner thoughts
Speaker:being of the subject who's talking to me and just kind of tell their story.
Speaker:And I think that's so important.
Speaker:It's one thing that I'm very passionate about because I love people, but also
Speaker:understanding the five W's. Who, what Where, when, and why?
Speaker:How did you get in the situation?
Speaker:Where were some of the pitfalls that we all have in life?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And I always try to approach that with an open eye, with an open view, of course.
Speaker:Very non judgmental. Right.
Speaker:We kind of prejudge a lot about someone's character, but once you start talking with
Speaker:them, you'd be amazed with their backstory, and I think that's my approach.
Speaker:Absolutely. I appreciate you sharing that.
Speaker:I think sometimes it's an incomplete narrative, and so when you go into it with
Speaker:a little bit of an open perspective, you get to have a larger story be told.
Speaker:And Octavia, I wanted to ask you you published a piece for WUSF public media
Speaker:called Two Black Men Share Their Journeys With Mental Health.
Speaker:Can you tell us about that piece that you worked on?
Speaker:So I had this discussion with Mary Shedon, who's the news director, WUSF, and she
Speaker:told me that, hey, we want to work on black mental health, and we have mutual
Speaker:friends in the Task Bay area that the counselors are a friend of mine.
Speaker:Sheniace Morgan she went off and got
Speaker:certified in mental health counselors, some areas because of her brother, right?
Speaker:And her brother who's going through some
Speaker:mental health things that he was dealing with.
Speaker:So that inspired her.
Speaker:So Janice was a part of this project, and
Speaker:a couple of the people who who knew of other folks who they've had their own
Speaker:personal stories that deal with either friends or family.
Speaker:And my journey here in the Tampa area.
Speaker:Just like I'm sure in Philadelphia too, when I see either dealing with something,
Speaker:either those who may have some serious mental health issues, either kind of
Speaker:talking to themselves sometimes I can be walking down not even two blocks for me
Speaker:and say, why is this brother, why is he here on the corner?
Speaker:Why is he dealing with this?
Speaker:Is he getting help?
Speaker:So you have all these questions, right?
Speaker:And also not even that some things that are seen, but also those issues that are
Speaker:not visible as well that some of us we may deal with internally.
Speaker:And it kind of draw me to that.
Speaker:And when Mary says, hey, I love for you to kind of take charge of this.
Speaker:Tell the black man's perspective in
Speaker:dealing with mental health, and I mean that's a wide range of things.
Speaker:That's a heavyundertaking.
Speaker:Right. That's a heavyundertaking.
Speaker:So I want to ask, what are some ways, in
Speaker:your opinion, that the media can convey more positive, more impactful messaging
Speaker:around men's mental health, and specifically black men's mental health?
Speaker:I think the understanding of our past too,
Speaker:because some of people talk about generational trauma, right?
Speaker:We had this conversation four amongst our
Speaker:friends, other folks who deal with history and now we're starting to learn about
Speaker:generational trauma, even through being enslaved Africans.
Speaker:Right, or what have the impact of slavery,
Speaker:how that the conditioning of African Americans post slavery.
Speaker:We're starting to learn some of that behavior, some things that are taught,
Speaker:some things that are also just kind of taboo culturally.
Speaker:And speaking of mental health, I remember just even ten years ago or maybe years
Speaker:past, if you talk about mental health, especially within our families or within
Speaker:the church, the first thing we will say "Awe we want to pray about it." So
Speaker:now, because we have done this piece right, we've interviewed a couple of
Speaker:pastors who are now encouraging those who may need not only just to seek the pastor
Speaker:or a minister for counseling, but also seeking outside professional help.
Speaker:And I think that's some of the encouraging
Speaker:trends you start to see within our community.
Speaker:Octavia, I want to ask a lot of your work
Speaker:on this topic involves going into communities and speaking directly to Black
Speaker:men about their experiences around mental health.
Speaker:If you feel comfortable, could you share
Speaker:with us some of the stories that you've heard?
Speaker:Yeah, even just photographing Harold and him just kind of sharing the story.
Speaker:And when Harold says his grandmother was the matriarch of the family and how
Speaker:devastated he was, the long lasting impact when she passed.
Speaker:And by talking to him, you can see that.
Speaker:You can still feel that the pain sometimes
Speaker:in his voice, he may tear up, because sometimes the grandmother, especially
Speaker:within a black family, especially young black boys who's father may be present,
Speaker:who may be absent, the grandmother is like, like who holds it together.
Speaker:So true. So true.
Speaker:Yeah, personally my grandma, I miss her to this day.
Speaker:And I can see that Harold is definitely he
Speaker:misses her and of course he loves her so much.
Speaker:But you can just tell someone that just
Speaker:hurt, pain inside, that he's still coping with that too.
Speaker:Right. Even when I took a portion of him in front
Speaker:of that house, you can see that I think the house is going to be up for sale.
Speaker:You can see the attachment you had growing
Speaker:up in that house, you know that it was all sort of meeting place right, for family.
Speaker:You know what I like about that personally?
Speaker:So we're in Philadelphia, I'm born and
Speaker:raised here, and the city is growing so rapidly, and you just brought up like, you
Speaker:know, someone's attachment to a physical place and the physical makeup of it.
Speaker:There's so much changing in the city from
Speaker:day to day, and we never account for how people might respond to that emotionally,
Speaker:mentally, traumatically, like, all these different ways.
Speaker:And so thank you for highlighting that.
Speaker:That's what really stood out to me.
Speaker:Yeah. Especially I live. Bey lives in West Philly, I live in South Philly.
Speaker:And especially with just the sheer amount
Speaker:of gentrification in the last 5-10 years in Philly, and you see people having to
Speaker:move out of their childhood you know their homes that is their family home.
Speaker:And it's like, obviously awful for many reasons.
Speaker:That's your life, that you're uprooting,
Speaker:but then yeah, you don't think about like damn
Speaker:Your mental health.
Speaker:Yeah, that connection that you have.
Speaker:And I love what you said about the
Speaker:grandparents because it is interesting the way that people react.
Speaker:If someone says, I lost a parent versus I lost a grandparent.
Speaker:People seem to think it's a lot less of an effect on you if it's a grandparent.
Speaker:And it's like, I grew up with a single mom.
Speaker:My grandmother was my other mom.
Speaker:So it's almost like if you did grow up in
Speaker:an environment where your grandparents were very involved yeah.
Speaker:You go through that process of losing a parent and that trauma many times.
Speaker:So I want to ask, what are some of your final thoughts you
Speaker:hope people take away from your line of work and about men's mental health?
Speaker:Finding a subject to someone that we can
Speaker:all relate to, even with the other gentleman, uh Jai, right?
Speaker:Single dad, father of four children.
Speaker:And the line, I will never forget that he
Speaker:says to me is like, black man we all want to wake up and be superheroes.
Speaker:Right? And I'm like, what?
Speaker:Dang, man. I can relate to that too.
Speaker:Every day that we wake up, we want to be great in whatever we're doing.
Speaker:like We're going to make this a good day. Right.
Speaker:And I think that with black men, I think
Speaker:we kind of deal with that inadvertent pressure on ourselves, right?
Speaker:Because when he said that, after that, he just started tearing up while he was
Speaker:talking about how he just wanted to be a great dad and making sure that he's there
Speaker:for his children, he works, and making sure that he can still provide for them.
Speaker:you know I just want to be great whatever I do, right.
Speaker:I want to kind of succeed.
Speaker:And he says, every day has to be better than yesterday.
Speaker:That's amazing. Thank you for the work that you do.
Speaker:Thank you for picking up that camera.
Speaker:Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker:I love the work that you do.
Speaker:It's so awesome to hear that somebody is
Speaker:out there listening to these stories, like you said, with an open mind and hearing
Speaker:out these people, because mental health is health, right?
Speaker:I was just there in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker:I was coming through New York, and a couple of friends of mine, they worked up
Speaker:to the Inquire, so to Denise Keenan and Monica Herndon.
Speaker:So not to call them out, but I just want to call them out anyways.
Speaker:Shout out to the Inquirer
Speaker:They are also journalists and also great people.
Speaker:So I mentioned Denise Keenan's name
Speaker:because she called me up one day, and speaking of mental health, she was trying
Speaker:to make work on a project, and she says, what are some of the joys of black men?
Speaker:And it was such a deep question, right?
Speaker:What are- What do we find joy in?
Speaker:Do you have an answer?
Speaker:Oh yeah absolutely, my daughter. Even though she's 15 now so. I find joy.
Speaker:She brings me joy, even probably in my down days.
Speaker:She brightens up my day, maybe having a bad day.
Speaker:So she makes you laugh.
Speaker:Oh, that's so wonderful. Dad of the year.
Speaker:Yeah, for real! Yeah.
Speaker:Thank you so much for your time.
Speaker:Octavio, thank you so much for coming on to so Curious.
Speaker:I really appreciated the conversation
Speaker:around matriarchs of family and things like.That that hit for me because I have a
Speaker:grandmom, who's getting up there in age, and I love every bit of her.
Speaker:I love the stories that she shares.
Speaker:And so I can only imagine the deep, deep impact of a loss like that.
Speaker:And I'm really grateful to have my grandma so shouts out to Grandmas.
Speaker:Yeah. We love Grandma.
Speaker:All of our grandma listeners, you rock. Let's go.
Speaker:Our next guest is Grace Molloy.
Speaker:Grace is a licensed clinical social worker.
Speaker:Grace, welcome to the show.
Speaker:Thanks for joining us. Yeah yeah.
Speaker:On the So Curious podcast.
Speaker:Grace, can you introduce yourself?
Speaker:Tell us a little bit about who you are, what you do?
Speaker:Yes, I am Grace Malloy, and I am a therapist in the Philadelphia area.
Speaker:My practice is both virtual and in person
Speaker:right now, so I have clients really all over Pennsylvania, and I specialize really
Speaker:in working with the queer population as well as folks with depression and teens
Speaker:who are kind of going through family conflict.
Speaker:That's wonderful. Yeah.
Speaker:Thank you for your work. Yeah, seriously.
Speaker:Really good stuff.
Speaker:So you're a therapist who specializes in queer care.
Speaker:So can you talk about what that means, why
Speaker:it's so freaking important for the queer community to be having mental health
Speaker:providers who specialize in that, who get it, all of that?
Speaker:Yeah, I think a huge piece of it is definitely in the queer population, you do
Speaker:see a lot of higher levels of different mental health issues.
Speaker:And I think a lot of that is due to societal factors and feeling challenged or
Speaker:pressed or anxious about just kind of being who you are.
Speaker:But I think for myself, my interest really lies in being a queer person myself,
Speaker:so you know wanting to provide that space for my clients where they feel like their
Speaker:experience is understood and that they're represented.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And you touched on the importance of being who you are, your identity, and likethe
Speaker:fact that there has been, like you said, so many more young people who feel
Speaker:comfortable being unabashedly who they are.
Speaker:And can you talk a little bit about what
Speaker:role have you seen identity play in mental health?
Speaker:I think identity is huge in mental health, I think in both directions.
Speaker:I think someone's identity in terms of their socioeconomic status, their race,
Speaker:their gender, their sexual orientation, all of those things play a part in how
Speaker:someone experiences the world, which can impact their mental health symptoms.
Speaker:And then I also think on the flip side,
Speaker:some people really do identify with their mental illness.
Speaker:And there is a lot of research out there around kind of biological factors that
Speaker:contribute to mental illness and genetic factors.
Speaker:And so this sense of wanting mental
Speaker:illness to be thought of as along the same realm of other disabilities and wanting
Speaker:that to be something that people can both feel honored around and accommodated.
Speaker:Yeah, I love this. I love this. And just
Speaker:to take a quick step back and we have a ton of questions for you.
Speaker:What is identity?
Speaker:When do we develop that?
Speaker:Is it from birth?
Speaker:How do we think of ourselves?
Speaker:Walk us through that very complex concept of identity.
Speaker:That is a huge question.
Speaker:I mean, an identity is a huge piece of adolescence, like identity formation.
Speaker:Oftentimes folks will kind of begin to
Speaker:form senses of their identity based off of their environment, their family, friends,
Speaker:whoever the important people are in their lives.
Speaker:But yes, in terms of adolescence, that's
Speaker:really when we see a lot of experimentation around identity and a lot
Speaker:more knowledge around what identity means and how it impacts us.
Speaker:Now, is identity like a fixed thing that just stays solidified forever?
Speaker:Or does it grow, evolve, chain?
Speaker:Can I be like one person one day and then completely a new person the next, or does
Speaker:that start to really delve into real deep mental illnesses?
Speaker:Yeah
Speaker:No, I mean, I think identity can absolutely change.
Speaker:So in terms of thinking about it from the perspective of sexuality and gender, a lot
Speaker:of more of the research in theory now shows that those things exist in a much
Speaker:more fluid way than we normally think of them.
Speaker:And then I think there is just the sense, too, of identity formation.
Speaker:Like it takes a while for all of us to figure out who we are and how we identify.
Speaker:And so in that process of figuring that out, there's a lot of
Speaker:grasping for different labels and ways to quickly explain ourselves to others.
Speaker:Of like, hey, this is what I'm thinking right now.
Speaker:But that's something that I definitely see
Speaker:for sure and talk with a lot of parents around when teens do come out, is this
Speaker:sense of, okay, why is my kid picking this very very very specific label?
Speaker:And how do they know that this is what fits them right now?
Speaker:And how do we know that it won't change?
Speaker:And I think the big piece to that is that
Speaker:you don't necessarily know that, but a lot of the time the labels serve as a way for
Speaker:a kid to kind of quickly express to other people who understand what those labels
Speaker:mean, like how they are thinking of themselves in that moment.
Speaker:And that can change.
Speaker:I'm curious, you work with, like you said, parents and you work with teens.
Speaker:So what does for our maybe teen listeners
Speaker:or parent listeners who are grappling with identity, gender, sexuality?
Speaker:What does the conversation of mental health and identity in your experience
Speaker:look like between modern day adults and their modern day teenagers?
Speaker:Yeah, I think there's a huge spectrum in the conversation that I see.
Speaker:There are families that are very willing and able to just kind of jump into these
Speaker:conversations. Maybe have some knowledge around gender and sexuality and feel
Speaker:equipped to kind of guide their teens through that.
Speaker:And then there are other families where it
Speaker:is something that is much more conflictual and contentious.
Speaker:And I think that also can have a huge impact on the mental health symptoms that
Speaker:the teen or queer person is presenting with.
Speaker:The Trevor Project is a great example.
Speaker:They do research on suicidality and LGBTQ
Speaker:youth, and their research shows overwhelmingly that with the trans
Speaker:population in particular, when their pronouns and their preferred
Speaker:names are honored and used, then suicidality drops significantly.
Speaker:And so those are the pieces that I really
Speaker:bring in because most of the time when I'm working with families, whether they are
Speaker:accepting of their queer teen or not, they're coming in because they can see
Speaker:that their child is struggling and they want their kid to get help.
Speaker:And so being able to kind of connect
Speaker:around this piece of, hey, this is something that could help your kid is a
Speaker:way to kind of shift the conversation from like, is this real?
Speaker:Is this not real?
Speaker:How do we all have different beliefs around this and focus more on this is
Speaker:something that research shows will be beneficial to your kids.
Speaker:So how does the outside world affect
Speaker:people's relationship with sense of identity?
Speaker:Can you talk about that a little bit more?
Speaker:Will people have strong identities if they just stayed in the house all the time?
Speaker:I think the outside world plays a huge part in it.
Speaker:I mean, obviously, it depends on the environment that you grow up in.
Speaker:But there are some folks who have never
Speaker:met a trans person, have never met a queer person.
Speaker:And so not having that influence, actually, for a lot of queer people, if
Speaker:that's your experience growing up, it makes it a lot easier to pathologize your
Speaker:own identity and to think like, oh, there must be something wrong with me because
Speaker:everyone else is straight, everyone else is cisgender, and so there's something
Speaker:wrong with me that I'm not. and so being able
Speaker:You can confirm that's not true, right?
Speaker:That's just not true.
Speaker:That's not true. No.
Speaker:Far from it.
Speaker:No, not at all. No.
Speaker:That notion is the thing that I think oftentimes can be really
Speaker:really detrimental to folks in the queer community just because there's nothing to
Speaker:be treated mental health wise in terms of your gender and sexuality.
Speaker:That in itself is not a mental illness.
Speaker:It is something that unfortunately has been categorized in that way in the past
Speaker:because of a lot of misunderstanding and oppression related to that identity.
Speaker:But I think having environmental factors that kind of expose you to different types
Speaker:of identities can bring a lot more awareness to your own identity as well.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And so what have you seen as far as what happens when a person is constantly
Speaker:perceived by an identity that they do not identify with?
Speaker:What is that like from your perspective?
Speaker:Yeah, well, that's, I think, a really easy
Speaker:kind of example of that is the experience of being misgendered.
Speaker:Oftentimes trans folks.
Speaker:They're not perceived as the gender that they identify with, especially kind of
Speaker:during the transition process, and for some oftentimes after transitioning as
Speaker:well, because there is, I think, especially non binary folks can encounter
Speaker:this a lot, kind of this notion of like, okay, we're still breaking this mold of a
Speaker:binary gender and thinking about gender in more inclusive ways.
Speaker:And with that, there's a lot of people who are not thinking in that way yet.
Speaker:And so you see someone who is non binary
Speaker:and you try and put them in a specific box.
Speaker:And I think that's the place where
Speaker:absolutely stress is a huge thing that it causes.
Speaker:You can also think about it in terms of
Speaker:microaggressions every time someone is misgendered.
Speaker:There's a lot of research around
Speaker:microaggressions and stress and the relationship between the two.
Speaker:So really just kind of having all of these experiences where you're being perceived
Speaker:in a different way and this sense of conflict between yourself and the way that
Speaker:others see you just creates a really stressful space and also, I think, for
Speaker:many people, a lot of feelings of depression.
Speaker:Thank you for sharing that. Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker:Is there anything else that you want to say to our listeners?
Speaker:Final words.
Speaker:The only thing that I can think of is just overwhelmingly when it comes to all
Speaker:identities in the mental health field, feeling as though you have representation
Speaker:in terms of your treatment team, like your therapist that you're working.
Speaker:With your psychiatrist that can feel
Speaker:hugely beneficial and just feeling like the people who are working with you
Speaker:understand you and understand your lived experience.
Speaker:That's awesome. Yeah.
Speaker:Thank you so much. That's amazing advice.
Speaker:Once again, thanks so much to Grace and
Speaker:Octavio for coming on the show to talk with us.
Speaker:And while we went internal for today's episode, next week we're going external.
Speaker:Next episode is going to be all about how the environment around us impacts our
Speaker:mental health from the physical spaces we live in.
Speaker:"And so we had to take into consideration
Speaker:the psycho emotional impacts of the environment."
Speaker:To puppies.
Speaker:I do have a five month old puppy here at my feet.
