Over the past year, the Black community has experienced much loss. Between the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ma’Khia Bryant to personal losses of friends and family, or even losing their jobs or homes – the feeling of grief struck us differently this year. In a world of stillness and not being able to be around loved ones as much as we’d like, our mental wellbeing required much more thoughtfulness. While a lot of us may not know where to start in our healing journey, fortunately, thought-leaders and experts in the Black community were available to guide us and provide a safe space for Black mental health.
