Actor MIKE MERRILL-I’m a messenger first. Mental health is power, and healing is a daily choice.

“At the Pan-African Film Festival, actor Mike Merrill opened up about purpose, healing, and power. He shared that acting wasn’t something he chased—it found him. He recognized his gift, and with grace, accepted his calling as a messenger. For Mike, acting is more than performance—it’s a sacred platform to move souls, shift narratives, and deliver truth. He spoke with deep conviction about the importance of mental health, especially for Black men. He emphasized that we are not meant to suffer in silence. ‘You don’t have to go through it alone,’ he urged. He shared the practical steps he takes to stay grounded—intentional self-reflection, surrounding himself with positive energy, and seeking professional help when needed. ‘Protecting your peace is a daily practice,’ he said, ‘and healing is a strength, not a weakness.’ Mike also honored Blackness in all its glory—calling it beautiful, calling it powerful, calling it the very foundation upon which the world was built. ‘The world was shaped by the hands of Black men and women,’ he declared. ‘And our stories matter. Our voices matter. We are everything.’ A conversation filled with truth, legacy, and love—a reminder that artistry is not just entertainment, but elevation.”
