Unfortunately for the black community, we've got this gigantic cross to bear of being seen as less than worthless, valueless by the world.
Imagine navigating the challenges of mental health while also confronting systemic racism. That's the reality for many, including actress Krys Marshall and author Joél Leon. In this episode, these two remarkable individuals sit down to share their personal stories and shed light on the unique struggles faced by Black communities when seeking mental health support. From dealing with suicidal thoughts to battling self-esteem issues, Krys and Joél open up about their journeys with raw honesty.
They don't just stop at sharing their experiences; they also discuss the broader social changes needed to dismantle these barriers. Joél, in particular, emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability, saying, 'softness is seen as weakness, and a lot of my work now especially has been trying to be soft and trying to be open'. This episode isn't just about highlighting problems—it's about sparking conversations that lead to real change.
If you're interested in understanding how systemic racism intersects with mental health and what we can do to foster more inclusive support systems, this conversation is a must-listen.
