EP47. Rick Kiesewetter. Managing Experience and Pain.

This time, we're delighted to welcome British American Asian European comedian, actor, model, and creative force Rick Kiesewetter to open the Hurt Locker door on his mental health experiences.

In a wonderful and wide conversation with Yinka, Rick reflects on how many key life experiences have shaped him into the father, man, and multi-talented performer he is today.

From his experiences of transracial adoption from his native Japan to the US, to growing up in white rural communities, to travelling the globe as a performer with a blend of national identities, Rick explains how he has managed these many varied challenges and any pain he went through along the way.

*TRIGGER WARNING* This open conversation shares some experiences of abandonment, transracial adoption, racism, and divorce.

If you are experiencing mental health issues, please do reach out for help - phone 999 for an emergency, or if you would like to speak to someone, call The Samaritans on 116 123
