Ep.02/ FROM INVINCIBLE TO VULNERABLE
"Losing my brother to suicide in 2017 definitely put mental health awareness on the forefront for me."
Today we are joined by the head coach of the KW Titans and leader of BR4ND (Building Reputations for Nurturing Development), Cavell Johnson. Johnson shares how the death of his brother led him to become an advocate for mental health awareness and speaks to the importance of love, kindness and intention. This inspiring conversation brings vulnerability to the forefront and outlines the importance of reaching out if you’re struggling.
Johnson hails from Virginia originally but now calls Kitchener Waterloo his home away from home. He has been away from his hometown for quite some time, playing professional basketball overseas for many seasons before landing a spot here in Canada.
After dedicating time as a player with the NBL Canada he now commands the attention of his team as their head coach.
Not only is Cavell Johnson a coach on the court, he is a coach to many as he mentors youth by being grounded in a foundation of love and positivity.
At 6'8, he no doubt towers over most but this gentle giant advocates for those who may not feel they have such an impactful presence. His message to our listeners is huge yet it is so simple....#kindnesscostsnothing A little bit goes a long way.
