Last night on The Pop-Up!, Converge producer Juma Blaq from Portland, Oregon paid a visit to the Black Media Matters Studio where he touched on something deeply impactful: Black men’s mental health. His message was clear: normalize going to therapy and discussing trauma in the name of healing.

Juma Blaq is a dedicated visionary and producer whose unwavering commitment to community stewardship has provided a home base for Black culture and representation in the Rose City. We applaud him for his impact and dedication to telling better stories.
