Within the past couple of weeks, thereâs been a lot of discussion online around Cheyenne Bryant and questions about professional credentials. People will always have different views, and everyone is entitled to ask for clarity and transparency.
But beyond the debate, one thing remains more important than anything else â mental health.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and itâs a reminder that mental health is real, it matters, and it affects all of us, especially within the Black community where support is still often underused due to stigma and misunderstanding.
As a Black male CBT Psychotherapist, I created Halftime Chat to help open up these conversations and create a safe space for us to talk about wellbeing, healing, and growth.
Whatever your beliefs, one truth remains: When youâre struggling with anxiety, low mood, or emotional stress, itâs okay to seek help. Therapy is valid. Support is necessary. And you donât have to go through it alone.
Itâs not just about âpushing throughâ or âjust praying it awayâ â itâs about combining faith, support, and professional care where needed.
If youâre struggling, reach out. You deserve support.
This is Nnamdi. Take care.

đ The Many Disguises of a Legend⌠You Never Knew Who You Were Standing Next To
Imagine having a full conversation with Michael Jackson⌠and not even realizing it đ¤Ż
Thatâs exactly what happened to Chuckii Booker back in 2003.
đš Chuckii recalls meeting a man in disguise â nothing flashy, nothing that screamed âglobal superstar.â Just a regular conversation⌠or so he thought.
But hereâs where it gets crazyâŚ
The man knew him.
He remembered Chuckii from his time working closely with Janet Jackson as her music director during the iconic Rhythm Nation Tour.
Only later did Chuckii realizeâŚ
That ârandomâ person he spoke toâŚ
Was Michael Jackson. đłđ
đśď¸ The master of disguise.
A global icon who could walk right past you, talk to you, even connect with you⌠and youâd never know.
Thatâs the level of mystique MJ carried. Not just fame â legend.
đ Imagine how many times this happened⌠how many stories are still out thereâŚ

One record that always comes up when we sit down with the 702 camp is âGet It Togetherâ â written and produced by the incredible Donnell Jones.
Meelah often goes back to that moment in the studio⌠being just around 17, already an amazing vocalist, but still learning how to feel a story that wasnât hers yet. The challenge wasnât the vocals â it was the emotion. Connecting to the honesty in the lyrics while trying to deliver it with real conviction.
That was the tension in the room: Donell pushing for emotional truth, Meelah pushing through her own understanding of the song, and everyone knowing something special was forming in real time.
And it really was.
What makes it even more interesting is the backstory â Donell originally had his eyes on the track for one of his own groups⌠but DJ IDF stepped in and said, âNo â give it to 702⌠theyâre going to make this a hit.â
And that decision aged perfectly.
Because âGet It Togetherâ didnât just become a single⌠it became one of those timeless R&B records that still hits today â raw, emotional, and unmistakably 702.
A real moment where the right song met the right voices at the right time.
Whatâs your favorite 702 record? đ

đś One thing about Michael Jackson⌠he was NEVER afraid to push boundaries. On the Dangerous album, âCanât Let Her Get Awayâ showed a whole different side of MJ â gritty, aggressive, and experimental. đĽ
For many fans, this was the first time we really heard Michael Jackson rap on a record, and he absolutely rode that beat! The production? CRAZY. 𤯠That hard-hitting groove, layered vocals, and signature swing had the fingerprints of both Michael and Teddy Riley all over it.
Honestly, this shouldâve been a single! đĽ Imagine the VIDEO we couldâve gotten⌠Michael Jackson rapping, the choreography, the visuals, the energy â it wouldâve been next level.
And seeing it featured on Soul Train? Pure nostalgia. Watching the dancers interpret that beat and bring the music to life reminds you just how powerful and influential this era of music really was. The Dangerous album gave us so much diversity, and tracks like this proved MJ wasnât afraid to reinvent himself and experiment with sound.
Did âCanât Let Her Get Awayâ deserve single treatment? đđ
