Mental health is more than just a buzzword—it’s a critical part of our well-being that too often gets overlooked or stigmatized in the Black community. In this bonus episode of Black Excellence Unfiltered, we break down what mental health really means, the common struggles we face, and why self-awareness and proactive care are essential. We explore the impact of stigma, the power of community and spirituality in healing, and the importance of recognizing when to seek professional help.Through engaging dialogue and personal experiences, we offer practical insights to help you navigate your mental wellness journey. Trigger Warning: This episode includes references to suicide. Tune in now—because protecting your peace is just as important as securing the bag. #BlackExcellence #MentalHealthMatters   Resources referenced: For those in the US Call or text 988.
