Zak I. Hussein is the founder of MenTELL.ca, a Canadian platform dedicated to raising awareness about men’s mental health and suicide prevention. Born in Tanzania, East Africa and Rooted in Calgary since 4 months of age, Zak’s work is driven by a simple but urgent belief: no man should ever feel like he has to struggle alone.

As a tech and digital media entrepreneur, storyteller that is the founder and host of CanadianPodcast.ca, and men's mental health advocate, Zak has spent years building projects that connect people, foster open conversations, and challenge stigma. Through MenTELL.ca, he is focused on creating a space where Canadian men can find facts, resources, and community support.

Zak believes that awareness is not enough. Change happens when we stand shoulder to shoulder, when we listen, and when we remind each other that every life matters. MenTELL.ca reflects his commitment to building that collective voice.

“We cannot afford silence. Men’s mental health is Canadian health. Suicide prevention is not just an issue for some of us. It’s all of us.”
