Black Mind Chronicles
Why is there such a stigma around mental health in the black community? What’s the big deal? Maybe you've asked, “How do I help my loved one through this difficult time, or am I the only one going through my situation?”Many of us have so much weighing on our mind today, causing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and diminished physical health.

I ask that you join me on this journey through the Black Mind Chronicles to better understand the mindset, perceptions and stories of mental health in our communities.
