May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time when we pause, reflect, and recommit ourselves to the well-being of our minds, our spirits, and one another. This year, we gather under the powerful and purposeful theme of Joy.
For Black women, joy is not frivolous. It is not accidental. Joy is intentional. It is an act of courage. It is resistance. And it is healing.
Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us that tending to our mental and emotional health is not a luxury; it is a necessity. And joy is one of the most profound tools we have to sustain it.
Let’s uplift one another, share resources, and remind our communities that it’s okay not to be okay.
Healing starts with awareness, and sisterhood makes us stronger.
