Kofi Josephs might seem like a man who has it all. A professional basketball player who represented his country, a model, an entrepreneur and a keynote speaker.
But get to know him better and he’s quick to admit that he can struggle with his emotional and mental health. At his lowest point as a young man and living alone in America to pursue a career in professional basketball, he considered suicide.
Kofi talks through how one of his most important coping mechanisms was breaking time down into small chunks and focusing on getting through each day at a time.
Now Kofi is established as a fashion model and he’s developing his own clothing brand. He delivers keynote speeches drawing on his own experiences, urging people to open up about their mental health and get the support they need.
Together we can help prevent suicide. Suicide affects us all. Encourage someone to talk before suicide seems their only option.
