If You Don't Know

Have you ever felt lonely? Black people are more likely to feel lonely than the general population, according to research from the Mental Health Foundation. Marwah El-Murad, who works for the organisation, explains why. And Rhyanna shares her own story of being young, black and lonely. She tells De-Graft and Roshan that you can feel like that even when you have lots of people around you. Presenters: De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts Researcher: Michele Theil Sound: Dave O’Neill Editor: Alison Gee
