Many of us are the first ones to have a career in corporate America. No one prepares us for the micro aggressions, scrutiny & racism we face in the workplace. Toxic work environments can disrupt Black Women’s mental health.
Yes. This. No one prepared us for this!!! We did all the “right” things. Got the degrees. Jobs. Careers. Etc. then we still are not seen as “enough”.
It Feels SOOOOOO good to hear conversations regarding this ❤, you YOUNG Ladies Please Continue to do so . I just happened upon your channel, my ancestors mental health was horrible, schizophrenia, paranoid, bipolar, depression, you name it, my Struggle is Real
The mercy and Grace of God keeps me , I'm a member of NAMI

I am so here for this conversation. Please bring these women back for more.
Thank you for this conversation! We need more conversation like this one to highlight the importance of mental health in the Black community.
I absolutely love this!! Thank you! I am the author of the book God, Why Did You Save Me?| TN CPRS| Mental health advocate| Professional Speaker| Founder & CEO of Firm Foundations CO, LLC. Transitioning From Trauma: Breaking the Silence of Childhood Trauma Support Group. Creator of the live podcast the Black Mental Health Forum. I am blessed to join you ladies in the fight!
Absolutely loved.
I believe an over saturation of media like the Grio has put these women in a mindset that everything is an issue or offensive. This video shows it is effecting the younger generation more. The younger generation complain about working and micro aggressions, and the older generation complains about career advancement and people hating on them. This is a result of the type of content they consume creating this anxiety and depression. Let’s be real ladies, it’s time to dump feminism. If you’re not too old, don’t have a lot of debt and don’t have a lot of bodies find a nice guy who is willing to provide for you, marry you, so you can be home and raise children. A high percentage of these mental health issue for women are career based. The video is proof.

I’m not understanding how this explains mental health… I suffered with mental illness all my life and didn’t know it I got diagnosed at 21 years of age I’m 27 now and just started doing research today I was in disbelief for 6 years but still had to get help I’ve been taking medicine since I was 21 and literally can’t function with out it!
P.S: I suffer with bipolar schizoaffective disorder and a person who suffers with major depression I don’t use it as a disability tho at all! Having a real mental illness is nothing to play with! This video was definitely weird🙄
