For the longest time, I was advised against sharing my mental health struggles with others. I was warned that people would treat me differently and that it would hinder my professional opportunities. However, I am here to tell you that this couldn't be further from the truth. I have friends who would go to war for me and I have EXCELLED in my career. My struggles have transformed me into an open book, and I am now seen as a beacon of strength and encouragement for those around me. My journey has inspired others, and I have become a source of advice for those who are struggling. If you ever feel like your voice doesn't matter, remember that sharing your story could save someone's life. ❤ #shareyourstory #blackmentalheath #blackmentalhealthmatters #blackwomen #mentalhealth #mentalhealthishealth
