Gucci Mane’s Breakfast Club interview had me thinking. How many people in our community are battling schizophrenia but get dismissed as “being laced”? It’s time to separate myth from mental illness. 🧠💛

Breast cancer impacts more than the survivor it touches everyone who loves them 💗

In the Black community, caregivers often carry the weight in silence trying to stay strong for everyone else but your mental health matters too

Take time to rest reach out for help and remember caring for yourself is part of caring for them ✨

Domestic violence isn’t just a survivor’s story. It’s also about perpetrators. Abuse is rooted in power and control, not anger or alcohol.

Perpetrators can change, but only with accountability, therapy, and a real commitment to stop harming others.

If you see abusive patterns in yourself, get help now. If you love someone who is abusive, encourage treatment, but protect yourself first.

Together, we can break the cycle. 💜

Autism isn’t broken it’s different 🖤

Black children are often diagnosed later which means delayed support. Early screenings, referrals, and services like Early Intervention can change lives.

Autism in Black adults is real, but many don’t get answers until later in life. Misdiagnosis, stigma, and bias all play a role. Getting the right diagnosis can change everything. 🖤✨ #MedicineForTheMelanated #AutismAwareness #BlackMentalHealth #Neurodiversity #AutismAcceptance
