Black folks don’t like therapy
Nobody wants to admit
That we have issues
“Talking out loud to a stranger
Is for white folks
I’m okay with these meds
I got my liquor too”
When we begin to have honest and uncomfortable conversations regarding mental health, we can heal. Until then mental health remains a taboo subject as I have commonly seen it in the black community. Until then we are left to guess and wonder about the matter much less normalize healing.
