In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, BLACKBiz is kicking off an intimate and often taboo discussion surrounding the intersection of mental health and the Black experience. This important discussion will take place on May 22nd, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm EST via virtual Webinar. All interested parties can register at www.blackbizglobal.eventbrite.com.
“As part of our mission, we are inviting these conversations to unveil and heal,by removing the cultural stigma of personal weakness,” BLACKBiz co-founder Gina Diggs said, “this event seeks to address the importance of self-care, support resiliency, and promote resources and tools that lead to strength and well-being.”
There will also be an exclusive interview with hip hop legend and icon Doug E. Fresh.
Doug E. Fresh has been a longtime advocate in the Mental Health and Emotional Wellness space and an honorary board member of Hip Hop Public Health- whose mission is to deliver a positive health message through music, art, and science.
The panel will consist of various experts in their respective fields pertaining to mental and emotional wellness in the Black community. The intent is to overcome and neutralize the Black cultural stigma and emphasize that showing weakness is not a character flaw.
