We seem to have made women of colour’s struggles with mental health mythical, with the dual lens of sexism and racism both working to undermine women’s experiences.
Whenever having to sacrifice their dreams and educations to raise and care for families, it was women who bore the brunt of this. Certainly, it’s full of surface level conversations where I say things I don’t mean, and speak about things I’m quite sure I don’t care aboutI do not think we know how to even begin a conversation about Mental Health.
People in my community refuse to talk about mental health. There are no support groups and there are no forums.
