Sistas, how do you cope, when you don't see a way out?

Why are we killing ourselves?

The lack of support and treatment of mental illness is the key factor to why suicide is on the rise in the black community.  

We have to normalize having conversations and begin to connect with each other in other ways. Let's practice listening to understand. 

Notice: Take caution as this subject can be triggering as the healing process is unpredictable. 
Take care and be encouraged as you process. 

Colorism, the war black women are fighting against themselves and society. Just because it is old doesn't mean it is over and doesn't hurt differently for each shade of beautiful brown woman.

Sista, what does colorism mean to you? How has it altered and affected your day-to-day life?

Why is there a backlash against Colorism in the black community? 

What role does the media play? Were there colorism issues within your home or family life right now?
