Welcome to Triggered Life ..... A requiem of healing #thishappened

Triggered Life( formally called Triggered) is a multi sensory, multimedia, post-traumatic story. How exactly does  Sexual trauma cast a shadow over the wholeness of black male selfhood? When the shared cultural values of black and brown communities demand that men suppress their vulnerabilities and meet with their psychology alone.

Triggered  Life follows a day in the life of two such men,  Ishmael and Keith. As these men relive  their stories of abusive childhoods, they embark on a journey to define their own manhood and identify  Ishmael and Keith are played by Keith Mascoll SAG-AFTRA, AEA and is directed by John Oluwole Adekoje.

 The “Triggered Life ” experience is a  two Act 90 minute long tour de force with Act 2 being a talk facilitated by mental health clinicians.

 


 

"Triggered Life is a powerful, and riveting monologue that needed to be shared to raise the awareness around childhood trauma and the implications of living through this pain and suffering in silence.”

"When I think of sexual trauma, I rarely think about it in terms of intersectionality. This play helped me to see how race and perspectives of manhood impact trauma responses."

"So incredible, powerful, deep and important. It changed me. I felt it in a way that not all film/art/productions or trainings do."
