On March 2, 2020, My father took his own life in a murder-suicide. In an effort to raise mental health awareness and suicide prevention, I created a podcast honoring my father and others like him who are struggling with the effects of mental health challenges; which often leads to suicide. I created this podcast in honor of my late father, Herman McKalpain, Jr. He was once a sports radio show host on WGPR in Detroit. His award-winning radio show was called “Speaking Of Sports” - which is the inspiration behind the name of my podcast “Speaking Of Love”. The Podcast airs live every Saturday at 12pm EST on all major podcast platforms, including Facebook Live and YouTube. (Watch the video below to learn more.)❤️🙏🏻
Speaking of Love Podcast is available on all major podcast platforms and YouTube.
