Mental health resources for Black People, I found this off of the website everymind. But here is the list of resources for black people.-Black Emotional and Mental Health (BEAM)-The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation:-Therapy for Black GirlsAnd more but here is the link to find the list of resources..https://www.every-mind.org/black-and-african-american-mental-health-resources/Here is also more Mental Health Resources for the Black community, the Indigenous community, and more people who are from minority communities. I found these resources from mass general. We all need to heal and, we need to come together and stand in solidarity. We are all suffering from racial trauma, seeing our people being killed, and just witnessing a lot of inhumane and petrifying killings happening in our communities. So here is the resources I have found to help y'all.-The Social Impact Center's Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing-MGH Chelsea HealthCare Center and MGH Revere HealthCare CenterHere is BIPOC Mental Health Resources that can provide you with the help you need for your mental health and your wellbeing.-Inclusive Therapists-Clinicians of Color Directory-Melanin & Mental Health Directory-Asian Mental Health Collective Directory-National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health AssociationThere is more to this list so here is the link to the website to help y'all..https://www.massgeneral.org/psychiatry/guide-to-mental-health-resources/for-bipoc-mental-healthBut I love y'all and just want you guys to stop suffering and heal..But I am sending love, peace, positivity, hugs, and blessings y'all way. But yeah this episode is really just me opening up on how I've been feeling lately and keeping it real with y'all.  Also I dive into my thoughts on SZA and her SOS album. I feel very sad and worried that she's hurting like that and has gone through so many trials and tribulations. Not only in the music industry, but her love life and so much more. It's such a shame and it breaks my heart man.. I have so much respect for SZA and I can say she even inspires me in how I write my music. Whether that would be vulnerability, writing about my experiences as a black women. Also how I've went through trials and tribulations as well. So it's very sad to hear she is hurting and I just am sending love, peace, tranquility, hugs, and happiness her way. Before I was wondering what was going on and just was worried. But now after watching her Hot 97 interview at work today, I can tell she's hurt. She is just done and wants to retire. So I really just understand where she's coming from.  Even with her being bullied after 9/11 for wearing her hijab. You know I just have no words y'all.. just overall it breaks my heart to see someone who I look up to hurting like that. Also, I was bullied really bad to the point where I was feeling so damn low, to the point where I had to be taken out of school during 9th grade.But I go in real deep in this episode and just had to get everything off my chest. It's been an emotional rollercoaster lately and, I really needed to let y'all know how I feel.

Hey y'all in this episode I get into what I think about dating nowadays and my experiences too. I even dive into the weird stuff I see on social media, and more stuff. But I just want to make it known, before anyone listens to this episode is that these are my opinions. You don't have to agree with what I say and, this episode is not to shit on anyone or wish any ill-will on anyone. I am just talking about  my experiences and what I think, so yea I ain't trying to put anyone down.. I really just wish them the best and blessings that's all.

Hey beautiful people! In this episode I tell my experiences about what happened to me at my job on Tuesday of this week on December 6th. It was very much a frightening experience..but at the end of the day y'all just be safe and, aware of your surroundings. I have grown very tired of not being able to defend myself against someone who wants to harm me or god knows what. But I forgot to mention in the episode that the guy was constantly yanking the door trying to get in the store. But anyways there is more things I talk about as well. But peace out y'all I will be uploading the next episode this weekend. 

This episode delves into black people being the first ones on Earth, black women have the eve gene and much more important topics. But here is the article and, also this YouTube video of Dr.Joy DeGruy talking about Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome that I wanted y'all to look at on your own time whenever. But here is the article- https://shadesofnoir.org.uk/the-eve-gene/This is where you can watch the video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGjSday7f_8

Hey kings and queens! Welcome back today I talked about my good and crazy experiences of working at my job and also more stuff.. but enjoy loves! May peace be with y'all and blessings as well

Today I had my bestie, my sis Lola on here and we delve into how Black women deserve to be protected, cherished, and loved.

This episode touches on being careful of when people come and ask if they can take your picture or even asking you to model. There is so much human trafficking, sex trafficking and even people's personal pictures getting sent around.. so be careful. Also I delve deep into how I got rid of the mindset of thinking men are shit and explaining and understanding why some women think like that. I also explain some of my experiences of being molested and sexually harassed. So yes, trigger warning.. if you don't do well with hearing about things like that, I recommend you don't listen to this episode. But I hope that you can understand where I'm coming from and how I have grown out of that mindset.

Sometimes it's good to just leave people where they are and not have to deal with drama.. There's no need for cussing or nothing just cut people off who aren't good for you, your energy, and if they are taking space in your mind rent free. 

I believe that it's nobody's business why someone chooses to date within their race, I can understand why a black woman or another woman of color would choose not. I completely understand and, it ain't none of my business who they choose to date neither is anyone else's business. My thing is date who you want but don't shame someone for not wanting to dating outside their race. 

Hey black excellence fam! thank you all for the support and love.. I would not be here without y'all and I love y'all! and thank you so much

I shared my experiences of me not loving my black features and more things, but if anyone has experienced this I understand how it is.. it's a very shitty feeling to go through.
