This is the last installment in our little series in honor of Bebe Moore Campbell and National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. It was written by Patricia Winston, a TFBWL summer intern. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I am from South Africa and I feel like the concept of Black Secrecy Syndrome is such a major problem in Black/African communities. There is still so much stigma around mental health and it's very disheartening.
So insightful!
The Secrecy Syndrome is so real and crippling, it takes away our power to help ourselves through growth. No one's snitching we're just trying to heal.
This is why I've turned to journaling.
