Talk about it Tuesday! Let’s talk about hair loss. 🦋

Are you feeling black fatigue?

We’re living in a society now where some are questioning our worth, our value, our credentials, our aptitude, and even our presence, simply because of the color of our skin. Black women and men who’ve worked hard all of their lives and EARNED their accolades, such as Ketanji Brown or Barack Obama are called DEI hires. A black man taking pictures of birds in a park is a menace and threat, and has the police called on him. A black couple wading in beach waters, told to go back to where they came from. These things don’t happen to non-black and brown people and it’s exhausting to continually see it happening to my community. I know we can’t change how other people think about us, but we do have control over what we think of ourselves! So I say to anyone experiencing “black fatigue,” you are great, you are dynamic, and you are loved!!!

Are YOU the fixer!!? 🦋

This is for the “strong” people! 🦋

If anxiety is always trying you, these were the conversations that you needed to hear.

My heart is still full and I feel incredibly blessed and honored to have been part of such a powerful community event, “Surviving Through Mental Health.” Serving as a panelist for the “Life Be Lifing” discussion was both humbling and inspiring.

What made this event so special wasn’t just the information that was shared—it was the authenticity. The conversations were honest. The panelists were transparent. The stories were courageous. And the discussions were exactly what our community needs.
Mental health conversations have the power to heal, reduce stigma, and remind us that none of us has to carry life’s burdens alone. Creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and understood is how we begin to change lives.

A special salute to Danica Royster for her vision, passion, and courage in bringing this incredible event to life. Thank you for creating a safe space where truth could be spoken, healing could begin, and hope could flourish.

I’m grateful to have shared in this experience, and I look forward to continuing the work of empowering minds, restoring hope, and reminding others that even when “life be lifing,”healing is possible. 💚

Late post: I had the absolute pleasure of representing A New Cycle Counseling Services at the “Black Family Wellness Expo,” sponsored by the Portsmouth chapter of The Links. Hands down, I can say that this was one of the best vendor opportunities we’ve participated in! There’s nothing like engaging with the community and talking about what I love, wellness! 🦋
