This Work Is Personal, Not Theoretical
Nkululeko Khanyi does not speak about mental health, loss, or resilience from observation. His work is shaped by direct experience — including depression, suicide attempts, financial collapse, and the loss of close family members within a short period of time. These experiences place responsibility on how these conversations are handled, especially in public and professional settings.
Because of this, Khanyi approaches every engagement with care, structure, and accountability. His work prioritises dignity, emotional safety, and clarity — ensuring conversations are not performative, sensationalised, or harmful, but grounded, respectful, and purposeful for the audience involved.
