Black men are among the most vulnerable to mental health challenges, yet the least likely to seek support.

Unguarded is a live-streaming miniseries created with Facebook Gaming that pairs two Black gamers from different backgrounds in a battle royale. The game sets the stage, but the real focus is conversation. In play, they drop their defenses and open up about Black identity, queerness, vulnerability, and the realities too often left unspoken.
