My Emotional Wellness & Healing Journey | Zimbabwe to the UK | Ep 193 | The Dear Son, Show

Every father should have honest conversations with his son. In this episode of The Dear Son, Show, we explore the lessons fathers must teach their sons before adulthood.

King Cass Ajani on Fatherhood, Emotional Wellness & Healing: Dear Son Show (Zimbabwe to UK Journey)

In this episode of The Dear Son Show, D Johns sits down with King Cass Ajani (Dumisani David Moyo), born in Zimbabwe and raised in the UK, to discuss identity, fatherhood, and emotional wellbeing for boys and men. Ajani shares memories of a joyful childhood in Harare, the abrupt move to South London at age 10, and his family’s fragmentation as his father became less present and left when Ajani was 14. He reflects on a father who was accomplished and confidence-building yet emotionally unavailable, and how grief after his father’s death led to a dark season before community, honesty, and therapy helped him rebuild. Ajani explains how his work mentoring men centers on curiosity, gentleness, and asking “Are you okay?”, and he shares his Brunch Brothers books and where to find his work online.
