DWC 063: Beyond Headlines: A Quest to Understand Mental Health and Media Propaganda with Derek Lewis Gray

'Deepen with Christina' by Christina Weber

Christina and her childhood friend, Derek Lewis Gray, explore sensitive and important topics that will challenge your perspectives and inspire you to deepen your thinking.

In this episode, Christina and Derek dive into the unexpected and suspicious death of beloved star Stephen "tWitch" Boss, and how it led them to connect with each other and have a profound conversation about mental health, stigmas, and media representation. This episode stems from a Facebook post where the two initially saw disagreement, but instead of typing back and forth, they stopped the text thread and scheduled a Zoom call.

This is an intimate and vulnerable discussion that touches on sensitive material, where both Christina and Derek authentically share their process and quest to understand reality. Through this podcast, you will learn that there is light in the darkness, that mental health is not a trend and the importance of being there for one another.
