Black Mental Health

"I know this world has made it easy to believe that no one cares about your feelings, but I do. The weight of the world has been on your shoulders since before you were even born. Black women have been the matriarch of families (not just black ones) for centuries. You are assumed to be strong just by the hue of your skin and because of that, you have to be. You are leaned on and very rarely have others to lean on. Your strength becomes a weight instead of your power."
