Join us in this podcast episode for a slept on topic for the black girlies: mental health. We talk about the stigma within the black community and why prioritizing it is essential despite the challenges. Hosts Angela and Mikala are joined by special guest host Marmia, an Evoluer House Alum, mental health advocate, and college student. Together, we explore the historical and present-day factors contributing to higher rates of abuse and trauma among black girls and women, the stigma against seeking help for mental health issues, and the importance of breaking the cycle of silence and shame. Marmia shares her inspiring journey with mental health, highlighting the transformative power of prioritizing self-care, especially in college. The girls are here to normalize talking about and putting mental health first.
