Description

Here's another mini audio journal. As a caregiver, I've become contemplative about myself, my mental health, and how that impacts the future me. For National Minority Mental Health Month, I address the stigmas in the Black community, while also bringing some context to why we're here in the first place. I share my real time experience navigating mental health challenges with my elders and myself.
