For the Black woken who need support, we got you 💕.

Essence’s ( ) article, “Let’s Talk About Hair Depression.” journalist Kenyatta Victoria ( ), delves into the societal and systemic pressures faced by Black women regarding their hair.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we aim to support you in navigating these emotions and processing your feelings about your hair and its relationship with your well-being.

What is it with the people being comfortable with throwing things at Black women artists? These instances connect to the deeper trend in the media of people trying to humiliate Black women.

For a lot of Black women, we have personal experiences these instances of disrespect that are racially charged.

For Mental Health Awareness month, we want to show you that you are not alone and provide some guidance around processing these emotions.

Sigh…. Another instance where we told y’all!! But like usual, y’all don’t listen.

But, during Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to help you navigate emotions of feeling invisible, which tends to happen to us as Black women and femmes.

We want to tell you that you are not alone, in fact you are heard clearly and are seen fully.

It’s important to understand that’s her story is a product of how Black women are treated in society, so it’s important to view her story through a different lens.

Thank you Dr.Abrams ( ) for your insight and expertise on this topic!
