“God allows things to happen to you so He can work through you. That’s why I think it’s very important for us to share our experiences, because they can help the next person.”
Bryan Gold I hear this. I don’t know if god is real. What kind of god can make this and let us loose destroying everything and kill each other in his name? Treating fellow humans like dirt. Killing and taking what we want. Where is all powerful god? We need god to be here now to take care of the wicked people.
@@lookronjon God has a plan in everything He does, and He uses what we do to help others. I talk about my addiction to others going through a similar experience so we both learn. My recovery is mine, but I share my experience with others.
lookronjon the Devil is at work, and this is what makes ppl think there is NO GOD. God is most definitely real and I have the upmost faith. If you believe, you will eventually hear him speak to you, I can promise you that.
When you start believing, the Devil will come at you really hard, and if you keep your faith and keep pushing, good things will start to happen to you.
That connection with the African continent, it's absolutely true. I was born and raised in Africa. I left for the US for college. When I came back after 7years... That "I feel at home" thing just struck me like lightning. Touching the African ground gave me chills and I felt warm inside.
@@oharawinter You are right. But it's not just about feeling at home. Because I feel at home when I'm in Europe and I was not born in Europe, I didn't grow up there. No, Africa has that magic. It's an actual physical feeling. You just feel it. If you can, come over and maybe you'll see what I mean.
People think I go to the gym for my body to look good, not knowing I go there to also treat my mind against depressing thoughts, I have the same thoughts about mental health being related to physical, and I am happy I can treat both at the same time in a way I found fit.
That is definitely a great attitude to have towards improving upon your physical mental health conditioning. I would like to know how long you have been consistent with going to the gym what type of exercises you are doing. Equally as important if not more if you are getting high sources of nutrition clean water equal to spring. One thing I have learned there is many people that are depressed and don't have the physical capabilities to exercise. So high sources of nutrition are the next best thing to exercise. However if you can do both will then you would be taking a quantum leap in progress compared to someone who is unable to exercise effectively. Then again many people have improved their health a great deal just by proper breathing techniques meditating.
@@sammyphemsky9345 Yes the gym is a very fun place to be. I never look at training as difficult or work. Nonetheless I believe if you add a couple different high sources of nutrition in the way of a supplement your workouts will become much easier. Keep in mind when you train your body eventually the muscles become familiar with the routine plateauing out. Not making as much progress' so you need to switch your routine around once in a while. What kind of working out are you doing free weights fingertip knuckle palm base push-ups chin-ups cardio endurance stretching meditation.
As a therapist and being w/ some1 for 20 yrs now who I've seen struggling through the darkness I cant TY enough for speaking the truth on this😘!!! Black men , ESPECIALLY (unencaressaded) are the MOST underserved population in our field so I am truly grateful to have a resource now that says, it's okay, we're not all bad, uncool, & guess what I go to my own😁😘! Be blessed everyone!!
@@gatosospechosop3 , so sorry its actually AUTOCORRECT on my phone but so glad for the positive comments, glad you're adding to the SOLUTION😂❣, MAYBE you should think about trying THERAPY??? Good luck you!!
@@BabyLoloify In Upstate NY, I know of plenty of places where you go if you're interested! My biggest piece of advice of someone who is new to therapy is to remember that when you go doe the 1st time remember there's an interview that's happening for you also...YOU NEED to be comfortable with the person who you're going to be talking to!! Clinics are a good start point BUT often they have a higher turnover rate so ASK ???s, How long have been here? Or my best scenario honestly is to find a therapist or counselor who is in practice or private owns their own independent practice so that you can be sure that you can establish a relationship with him/her & they won't leave as you begun to establish TRUST, tell your story, ect. From my experience this is the biggest challenge for many people that have started to get help. They find someone they like, tell their stories, open up and become vulnerable and then the person comes in and says "I am leaving so I am transferring you to someone else". This turns people off and causes them to shut down...I try to tell folks that I work with that we are going to work on TOOLS that you can put in your "box" to use when you need them, because the big goal is to help guide you through the process and give you coping skills...."My job is to eventually work myself out of a job"! That's what I say, just my personal take/method as I think about it as being able to help build confidence to independent, EVENTUALLY!! Hope that helps!! Every city also has Lifeline, most cities also have 211 or 311 where you can call and get information about how to get help with getting started in seeing someone!!! Instilling HOPE is our job and Congratulations on taking the 1st step, most important 1 of them ALL, asking for help!! 😉❣🙏
I love the direction Trevor Noah has taken The Daily Show. He's really using this as a tool to educate and discuss not just American issues/news, but Black American issues/news. We really need this.
I'm from Oxnard California. I suffer from PTSD and Anxiety Attacks from being shot 5 times 12 years ago when i was 19. I've been in Behavioral Health for the past 10 years. They've not only been an ear I can vent to bit my Counselor has shown me tools and coping mechanisms to use to help me become the God fearing Man I am today. Don't ever let your Pride of being a "Man" make you miss out on who You were created to be simply because You're too proud to admit You are human and have feelings and have dealt with hard things that need attention! Be All You Can Be!!! #PTSDSURVIVOR
I'm glad you got help and didn't take the mindset that it happened and it's normal where I'm from. Thank the Creator you made it threw to tell your story. Stay blessed
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RUclips channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
I am generally not a fan of Charlamange, but I really appreciate him discussing the subject of mental health, especially as it relates to the black community's reluctance, in general, to seek and embrace mental health treatment. As a black gay man who grew up in an oppressive household and a predominantly white environment, I never felt comfortable in my own skin, ever. I struggle with my identity every single day and I don't feel comfortable with black, white or gay people and that level of identity crisis leads to constant depression, anxiety, rage and regret. Fortunately, I've never felt suicidal or acted out violently in any way, but I've also never been happy or fulfilled at any point in my life. It's a terrible thing to be content to live a miserable life. I've known for years that I need therapy, but the 'strong black man' act is the roll I was conditioned to play has kept me from pursuing it. Also, I can't really afford it, but I know I have to figure out a way to get it. I've already wasted half my life being consumed with negative emotions, I don't want to waste the next half in the same way.
Hang in there. I was abused as a child for ten years. I’m 55 and still having problems but I keep going. Please read love is letting go of fear. It helps a lot. Made me realize it can’t hurt me anymore. I continue to learn and grow. I hope that you find your inner peace.
I appreciate anyone introspective and patient enough to grow. Stark difference between the first time and only time I ever heard this man speak. I was rolling my eyes so much they almost stuck in the back of my head from the misogyny.
Never heard of this Charlemagne before but God bless you for “coming out “ about mental health. It is as much a part of a person as is physical health. I’m going to buy your book ASAP. Thank you for using your platform for positivity.
"God allows things to happen to you to work through you". Blessings my brother. I am so grateful that you are speaking about this. It's so necessary for us to use gain self-awareness and strength through therapy. Unfortunately, as AfAm are problems get manifested through alcohol/drugs/overeating and other forms of abuse. You. Are. Inspiring.
That's how I felt, like Chars wife when going to Africa .. I felt robbed but then when I went on my search I found out the majority of my genetics, my mom and daddy side, I'm Indian.. My mom side 40% chippewa, my daddy 59% Blackfoot.. I'm 12% African.. I just.. I really don't know how to feel anymore because school never teaches you much truth... In the black community, me getting my degree in Forensic Psychology I was looked at as weird, "Nobody is going to come to you in THIS COMMUNITY." A black family believes it's a weakness to have mental illness or, it just doesn't exist and it's just "CRAZY UNCLE /AUNTIE acting out." I'm so happy that we are talking about it... I don't celebrate Xmas but, to all that are ALIVE stay strong, stay positive and keep your head up. Love your family for their faults as well as their strength!!
You could have more African ancestry than your test implies. Here's a video where someone who gets it better than I do explains it quite well ruclips.net/user/64ae9bb0-826b-4163-8937-f0471ffb487a (Idk if that idea helps or adds to your pain over being robbed of this knowledge/connection, though... :/ Sounds like you're doing great things with YOUR life in any case. You stay strong too, much love!)
Swnsasy _ yes, the school does not teach you Anything about YOUR true history. BLACK people are from the 4 corners of earth.... meaning we come from all over Terra,... which is earth. Most blacks in America are from American.True native Americans are blacks. When Asian's crossed the bering straight and mated with the native blacks, that brought about that red man color. Most identity this as native as they keep the lie to not pay retribution. And the few blacks that was able to reach American from Africa were very few, they tried inbreeding, but you can't keep doing that so they took and bred black natives with the captured Africans
@@Quickturealeyes Yes, thank you! Native American.. No lie I was watching Johnny Depp movie and him playing Tanto my silly husband kept saying and didn't even think about it.. Need to stop trying to multi-task sometimes .. Thank you for the correction love.. Lol..
I strongly commend CTG for this. He’s the only person, black AND male, who is advocating for this so positively. Some of the shit he says in hip-hop/black culture is unforgivable, but he is extremely intelligent and necessary on every playing field.
It’s okay to be not okay. So true! Six years ago, have been diagnosed with Bipolar I and have said this to myself over the last few years. I also was surprised about his view of going to Africa and the stigmas of mental help in the African American community. I feel like many people in the Asian American community feel the same way about displacement from the mother country and insecurity of seeking medical help. It is two different things but I can relate. Also seek help because you will feel better or worse if you don’t you will look like Kanye West stumbling at his own disguised insecurities and confusion.
I just started going to therapy. It is definitely something that was (even subconsciously) stigmatized, I think in most communities, but especially in the black community. I had no clue why I was feeling depressed or anxious but therapy has mad me realize I was holding a lot of things in and it is so important that people see this and understand that it's okay to get help
I was just talking about this feeling with my friend ..EVERYTIME, EVERY YEAR I go back home to South Africa and the pilot starts talking about the weather and that we are about to land at O.R Tambo..i feel a feeling I cannot explain and once it touches down I feel free..i feel overwhelmed, and I feel HOME!!! Gosh it's a feeling I wish for my future kids .
The moment Trevor Noah talked about that book, I went straight to Amazon and bought one copy for myself. I wish all the best for the people who are going through Mental Health. It's only us who know how it feels because we have been through it.
The best open forum with intelligent black men. Its refreshing to speak on Mental health and its effects good or bad. Peace and blessings to these men and those whom have read and heard the message.
I am a therapist. I applaud you for being open about discussing your process. Mental illness along with appropriate alternatives for dealing with mental illness issues desperately needs to be destigmatized, especially within minority communities. Thank you for being willing to speak openly about your experiences.
I have never been a fan of Charlamagne at all. But after this interview it kinda seems like he is an alright guy. I might have to check out there show.
I was going to comment 'bout "Tha God"'s eyebrows, but then he was speaking openly about dealing w/his mental health issues...AND THEN he called Kanye on his bullshit (sneaker sales taking a hit)...So not only am I giving #Charlamagne props for being real, I'm going to check out his book. Thanks to Trevor's crew for booking this man on the show. Merry Christmas!
Thank you thank you thank you charlayne and Noah for encouraging people to seek mental health treatment. Thank you for helping remove the stigma that plagues the lives of young black men especially.
Considering how Trevor was interviewed on the Breakfast Club a while back i'd say he is the bigger man for sure. This is how you interview someone Charlamagne.
It's amazing that the audience laughs and applauds when he dissed Kanye but, were silent during the intellectual statments of exposing the benefits of seeking and healing black men of mental health. I guess the applauds were worth waiting for towards the end of the interview. I APPLAUD you both.
I find you an absolutely fascinating man. You talked about trauma and pain, as a white woman growing up in a white neighborhood I felt I had to hide the abuse I endured from my family because it wasn’t something my friends could relate to. I was in therapy by junior year in High school and I was ashamed of it then. When we talk about these things then we can come together as people sharing the human experience.
I watch The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and The Breakfast Club regularly, as a fan of these two, I think they could have a good hour on camera together. Just them two.
Christmas has come and gone 4 hours ago, in South Africa. After reading so many comments hoping we all sort our shit out and hope for a happy, peaceful 2019, yet so many comments are still negative and filled with anamosity. How can we hope for peace, love and prosperity if we can't even find positivity in a comment thread on u-tube. Let's cut the crap and show understanding and respect for each other. That is not going to cause world peace, but we have to start somewhere.🎄🇿🇦🙏
Look, I don't always love Charlemagne, he can be a hot head, he can be a jackass, but I have serious respect for him for not only this, but his previous comments on mental health and his openess to bringing the discussion of mental health into the world of hip hop which I think nobody could argue he doesn't care about immensely.
A big part is how to recognize anxiety when it happens. Too many young people confuse that anxiety with anger. We have to learn how to identify our emotions.
Kanye West is adopting the most controversial position available to him because it _gets him attention._ There are no other reasons, which means there are no _better_ reasons. So, yes, make jokes. _Negative_ attention is better than _none._
very soon uncle charla's haters would come here in the millions spewing negative energy on the tube. nothing is going to change the fact that this man is on a journey for himself..get yours..bruh..this man made me look for therapy too...
So far there's a LOT of love in these comments tho, even for Daily Show-comments (that are usually quite positive & decent overall). And I feel it too, this was really, really good. Good luck btw! Finding a therapist you feel might be able to help you & that you can afford, or that your insurance covers, can def. be the worst part. At least in the US. But just don''t give up and you will get there.
@@stclemmons1969Yeah, I have no words for how frustrating & unfair & just fucking gross that is... when there are disgustingly rich people sharing the same society who just got their taxes cut even more. But I guess if they'd gotten into it the show, they would've had to spend the whole segment on it. & ppl would rather talk about attitudes anyway coz that seems easier to change than America's economic inequality & health care system... :/
Because all the other hate and racism ctg spews doesnt go away with him helping people with mental health issues, via a book he profits from. He literally bleaches his skin. Hes not happy with who he is, how is anything he is saying credible? He lives a lie
@@seanprice7914, Show proof of him bleaching his skin. That's just some ignorant nonsense you haters say because you are jealous of him for whatever reason.
@@kingjamestres and he was way darker 10 years ago. Look up some of his videos from years ago. Hes spoken about it himself he says hes "taking care of his skin" and its for health. Yet you can youtube all his videos and see his progression to the current complexion he has. Theres no hate on this side. Just be aware when you're on a scripted show they make you look like anyone. and you guys think this guy is the messiah
Dude made a name for himself by making people uncomfortable on The Breakfast Club, making fun of them. Basically giving them anxiety. Now he's writing a book about having anxiety and the trouble behind it....lmao
May everyone reading this live in true Joy Peace Love and Hope. And thank God for the tools and resources He gives us, equipping us to be the healthy people He created us to be and do the works that we are created to do. OneLuv 💞✌️
Haha what!? The dude is on the show selling a book about mental health. That's his revenue stream. If anything he's gonna garner sympathy/praise for writing about such topics. Leading to higher sales.

GRASSFED CHARLIE He’s not the only black male championing mental health education. And your welcome, I’ll continue to share. :)
What Charlamagne says at the end is on point I’m a vet with PTSD and I waited ten years to get help I truly wish I would have done it year one
before watching the interview: "well this is gonna be weird"
after: "dayumm, smooth interview af"
They usually invite each other on their shows for interviews like this.....mutual respect hence the smoothness!
It’s okay to be not okay. So true!
Six years ago, have been diagnosed with Bipolar I and have said this to myself over the last few years. I also was surprised about his view of going to Africa and the stigmas of mental help in the African American community. I feel like many people in the Asian American community feel the same way about displacement from the mother country and insecurity of seeking medical help. It is two different things but I can relate.
Also seek help because you will feel better or worse if you don’t you will look like Kanye West stumbling at his own disguised insecurities and confusion.
You know what tool is the best for combatting anxiety that social media gives you? Leaving.
What about Trevor Noah as James Bond?
Coenraad Groenewald he’d KILL in a spoof...but in a real bond movie I’d keep expecting a laugh or take everything like a joke.
Coenraad Groenewald Yeah! You are on the right path.
@@HeyTash I can picture him doing Roger Moore style one liners, but I cannot picture him in a sex scene lol it would seem so silly
I totally agree with you, he would make a great Bond
Merry Christmas to everyone here watching Travor..
Lâm Lê thanks
John jonathan Trevor*
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!
Christmas is pagan ritual from the Romans nothing to do with Jesus, it’s proven by historians and by the church. Why still celebrat it?
@@7shukur Christmas then is not Christmas now - get over it. And happy holidays!
I just started going to therapy. It is definitely something that was (even subconsciously) stigmatized, I think in most communities, but especially in the black community. I had no clue why I was feeling depressed or anxious but therapy has mad me realize I was holding a lot of things in and it is so important that people see this and understand that it's okay to get help
I was just talking about this feeling with my friend ..EVERYTIME, EVERY YEAR I go back home to South Africa and the pilot starts talking about the weather and that we are about to land at O.R Tambo..i feel a feeling I cannot explain and once it touches down I feel free..i feel overwhelmed, and I feel HOME!!! Gosh it's a feeling I wish for my future kids .
The moment Trevor Noah talked about that book, I went straight to Amazon and bought one copy for myself. I wish all the best for the people who are going through Mental Health. It's only us who know how it feels because we have been through it.
Much respect for both Charlemagne Tha God and Trevor Noah! I enjoy hearing them speak! They’ve opened my eyes to seeing things differently!
The best open forum with intelligent black men. Its refreshing to speak on Mental health and its effects good or bad. Peace and blessings to these men and those whom have read and heard the message.
Real talk for Christmas and 2019. Thank you for your courage to share, CtG.
I am a therapist. I applaud you for being open about discussing your process. Mental illness along with appropriate alternatives for dealing with mental illness issues desperately needs to be destigmatized, especially within minority communities. Thank you for being willing to speak openly about your experiences.
Dang this is so powerful. Thank you guys for taking the time to discuss this openly, I’m definitely purchasing the Book!
Charlamagne looks like xerxes from the movie 300
Ahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👍
Make that nigga 7ft lmao
I have never been a fan of Charlamagne at all. But after this interview it kinda seems like he is an alright guy. I might have to check out there show.
Mickiddy Michael go watch his other interviews. He’s really knows what he’s taking about and he’s a good guy.
Two of my favorite people. Great interview
Happy Christmas to everybody
Same to u sis❤❤
And to you 🎄
I was going to comment 'bout "Tha God"'s eyebrows, but then he was speaking openly about dealing w/his mental health issues...AND THEN he called Kanye on his bullshit (sneaker sales taking a hit)...So not only am I giving #Charlamagne props for being real, I'm going to check out his book. Thanks to Trevor's crew for booking this man on the show. Merry Christmas!
This interview and the book, have value beyond measure.
Amazing.
I been waiting for this interview since I missed on tv
Thank you thank you thank you charlayne and Noah for encouraging people to seek mental health treatment. Thank you for helping remove the stigma that plagues the lives of young black men especially.
That was an excellent interview. Two big icons in the entertainment sector.
Considering how Trevor was interviewed on the Breakfast Club a while back i'd say he is the bigger man for sure. This is how you interview someone Charlamagne.
Thank you for putting it into blunt words that even people who despise mental health will hopefully understand.
It's amazing that the audience laughs and applauds when he dissed Kanye but, were silent during the intellectual statments of exposing the benefits of seeking and healing black men of mental health. I guess the applauds were worth waiting for towards the end of the interview. I APPLAUD you both.
Really enjoyed the interview!! Charlemagne and Trevor!! Handsome black men.
2 brothers speaking positive towards one another, empowering, & enlightening others. Sharply dressed, & fully representing, "it's for the culture" 😁😁👍
I find you an absolutely fascinating man. You talked about trauma and pain, as a white woman growing up in a white neighborhood I felt I had to hide the abuse I endured from my family because it wasn’t something my friends could relate to. I was in therapy by junior year in High school and I was ashamed of it then. When we talk about these things then we can come together as people sharing the human experience.
I felt at home in South Africa for years even though my real home is 7k kms away. I miss Johannesburg so much.
I watch The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and The Breakfast Club regularly, as a fan of these two, I think they could have a good hour on camera together. Just them two.
Love these 2!!!💙💙💙
Love you guys. Hats off again to CtG.
I love Charlamagne because he keeps it real..He’s an open book and make help a lot of people along the way. Keep up the good work, my brother...
Why is his face so perfect? Like he's drawn there. I'm envious.
LOL he does have clear skin though!
His eyebrows are so cleaned up too. His face almost looks like he’s had work done. It doesn’t move.
He has a skin care regimen from some dermatologist he brought on the breakfast club u can utube it
Christmas has come and gone 4 hours ago, in South Africa. After reading so many comments hoping we all sort our shit out and hope for a happy, peaceful 2019, yet so many comments are still negative and filled with anamosity. How can we hope for peace, love and prosperity if we can't even find positivity in a comment thread on u-tube. Let's cut the crap and show understanding and respect for each other. That is not going to cause world peace, but we have to start somewhere.🎄🇿🇦🙏
Interview of the year Charlamagne Tha God rocked it. All answers are on point
Two of my favorite humans
Damn reading thru the comments nd everyone wishing merry Christmas soo much love here
Quite an insightful interview. 👏👏👏
Listening to this while in clinic, I life is good,.
Look, I don't always love Charlemagne, he can be a hot head, he can be a jackass, but I have serious respect for him for not only this, but his previous comments on mental health and his openess to bringing the discussion of mental health into the world of hip hop which I think nobody could argue he doesn't care about immensely.
A big part is how to recognize anxiety when it happens. Too many young people confuse that anxiety with anger. We have to learn how to identify our emotions.
Trevor is at another level.....✊🏾🇿🇦
I'm a Mexican mother and I will read this book
Well done and enlightening.
Kanye West is adopting the most controversial position available to him because it _gets him attention._ There are no other reasons, which means there are no _better_ reasons. So, yes, make jokes. _Negative_ attention is better than _none._
Merry Christmas to CTG & Trev...& to anyone else who reads this comment. 🌲🎅🏾🙏🏾
very soon uncle charla's haters would come here in the millions spewing negative energy on the tube. nothing is going to change the fact that this man is on a journey for himself..get yours..bruh..this man made me look for therapy too...
You don find the therapy? How e go?
So far there's a LOT of love in these comments tho, even for Daily Show-comments (that are usually quite positive & decent overall). And I feel it too, this was really, really good.
Good luck btw! Finding a therapist you feel might be able to help you & that you can afford, or that your insurance covers, can def. be the worst part. At least in the US. But just don''t give up and you will get there.
@@Suzanne4415 It's a travesty that money can keep folks from obtaining competent mental health help.
@@stclemmons1969Yeah, I have no words for how frustrating & unfair & just fucking gross that is... when there are disgustingly rich people sharing the same society who just got their taxes cut even more. But I guess if they'd gotten into it the show, they would've had to spend the whole segment on it. & ppl would rather talk about attitudes anyway coz that seems easier to change than America's economic inequality & health care system... :/
Charl always focuses on negative energy. "Donkey of the day" bit is clout chasing drama queen. Fuck that dude.
Excellent interview
C the God doing his thing these days... I’m proud of the brother 💪🏽
Yooo anyone else peep the gold piece of the Honorable Minister Elijah Muhammad dope af
One ☝️ Love from Haiti 🇭🇹
gd the best words spoken this year
Merry Christmas, Trevor! Thank you for the uploads even on Christmas😊🎄
Well, now I have to go listen to Charlemagne's hip hop because it was sure nice to listen to him express his views on mental health. Merry Christmas.
Its crazy how even if someone is promoting something so positive they still get hate.
Because all the other hate and racism ctg spews doesnt go away with him helping people with mental health issues, via a book he profits from. He literally bleaches his skin. Hes not happy with who he is, how is anything he is saying credible? He lives a lie
@@seanprice7914, Show proof of him bleaching his skin. That's just some ignorant nonsense you haters say because you are jealous of him for whatever reason.
@@seanprice7914 Charlemagne is dark as hell what are you talking about?
@@kingjamestres and he was way darker 10 years ago. Look up some of his videos from years ago. Hes spoken about it himself he says hes "taking care of his skin" and its for health. Yet you can youtube all his videos and see his progression to the current complexion he has. Theres no hate on this side. Just be aware when you're on a scripted show they make you look like anyone. and you guys think this guy is the messiah
sean price I’ve heard the conspiracy theory before it’s just a load of shit.
I love Trevor, big up from Angola and I wanna be sit next to you one day
Dude made a name for himself by making people uncomfortable on The Breakfast Club, making fun of them. Basically giving them anxiety. Now he's writing a book about having anxiety and the trouble behind it....lmao
Great job, these're information we should all know about,love this interview, I don't mine reading this Book.
Charlamagne Tha God: You don't look old enough to be so wise! I am definitely going to be quoting you endlessly in 2019 and beyond. Thank you!!
May everyone reading this live in true Joy Peace Love and Hope. And thank God for the tools and resources He gives us, equipping us to be the healthy people He created us to be and do the works that we are created to do. OneLuv 💞✌️
Trevor has improved so much
This is a really good interview. Although Charlemagne is problematic, I’m happy for him that he’s seemed help and he’s growing.
Loved this!
One thing Charlamagne is, is a brave, fearless man. He's a man that fights for redemption, husband material !
CTG rocking The Messenger on his chain
Much respect.
Merry christmas Trevon.happy holidays.
Trevor noah is great interviewer !! I wonder how many guest's books did he read??
On point!
Good work CTG
A beautiful sentiment, to share his experiences to help others even though it doesn’t help and can even hurt, his revenue stream.
Haha what!? The dude is on the show selling a book about mental health. That's his revenue stream. If anything he's gonna garner sympathy/praise for writing about such topics. Leading to higher sales.
Literally if I want good publicity for ANYTHING when I become famous I’m going to Trevor Noah lol.. seriously. He could make bill Cosby look good
Nah, too late for that
BC is old toast!!
Thanks for not paying attention. Your presence is noted.
He didn’t make Tomi Lauren look good
Yes he could.
Oh Shit!!!
Thank you Sir.
Charlamagne got that skin together!!!
