In the action sports world and skateboarding, mental health is a topic that’s rarely discussed and is something we all go through as humans. But sometimes, we may not feel we have a safe space to open up about what we’re going through and express how we feel inside. I recently had the opportunity to sit down and connect with other athletes and relate to the struggles of our everyday lives - talking about what mental health is and what it means to us. This is a conversation that needs to happen more. There shouldn’t be a stigma around speaking up and asking for help. We need to reach out to each other more often and check up on our people to make sure they’re good! You never know what someone could be going through even though they may look good on the outside appearance! This is just the beginning of something so big. We all need to come together and put our egos to the side cause we all struggle with things in life one way or the other. I may not have the answers to your problems, but I’m here to listen and offer you a different perspective. I’m grateful to have had this opportunity with @redbull @selema to navigate a conversation that needs to be had more often. Huge thanks to @redbullusa for making this possible. And to everyone: know we are all humans and go through the same stuff. Give your family and friends a hug and tell them you love them despite all the bullshit. This life is too precious. Sincerely, Zion. SPREAD LOVE
