🔴PSA🔴 Black Mental Health Matters because there are specific circumstances that have targeted Black and Brown people that have been very impactful to our day to day lives. These individual and collective experiences have impacted the wellness of us and our communities. I even read a book once that said that most Black people have PTSD. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) That’s pretty deep. Some of these very impactful circumstances include, but are not limited to... • • • • Slavery Jim Crow The Civil Rights movement The Tuskegee experiment War on Drugs Gentrification Systemic racism Police brutality Racial discrimination Black women dying during childbirth at alarming rates Educational disparities Mass incarceration Healthcare discrimination Job inequalities and so much more This list alone is disheartening. We deserve so much more. We deserve to not just exist in this world, but to LIVE, EXCEL and THRIVE!!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #blackmentalhealth #blackmentalheal...
