In this powerful episode, Malachi sits down with Denet as he shares the beginning of his story of how a Sudanese upbringing shaped his identity and worldview. Drawing from the trials, sacrifices, and resilience embedded in his family’s journey from Sudan, Denet reflects on the values his parents instilled in him through every season of life.He later shares about the devastating loss of his brother to suicide, a moment that changed the course of his life and his family’s forever. In that turning point, he discovered a renewed sense of purpose and felt called to honor his brother’s legacy in a meaningful, lasting way. That calling led Denet to create a nonprofit in his brother’s name, later to become Better South Dakota, an organization dedicated to breaking stigmas, expanding access to therapy, and empowering others to seek help without shame. Today, Denet uses his voice, his platform, and his faith to advocate for mental health and build pathways to healing for communities that often go unheard.This episode is a testament to heritage, healing, and the power of turning personal tragedy into hope and impact.Deter can be contacted on at @dcvic_09 and @bettersouthdakota on Instagram.Psalm 107:2 - “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story."What’s your message?#MentalHealthAwareness #breakingthestigma #suicideprevention #suicideawareness #advocacymatters #themessengerpodcast #purposedrivenlife #faithandmentalhealth
