Black girls deserve to be seen—fully, softly, and without bias. 💛

For too long, symptoms of ADHD and autism in Black girls have been misread as “attitude,” “defiance,” or “being too much.” But what’s really happening is that many of us are masking, struggling, or being misunderstood.

This ADHD Awareness Month, we’re setting the record straight:

✨ Black girls can have ADHD and autism.
✨ Our symptoms don’t always look like the textbook examples.
✨ Understanding and affirming those differences is mental health care, too.

🧠 Swipe to learn the myths, facts, and ways we can change the narrative for the next generation.

Sis, you don’t need to wait for January 1st, Monday morning, or the “perfect time.” The moment you decide, you can choose a new version of yourself.

You are not tied to old decisions, old habits, or old versions of who you used to be. You can pivot. You can shift. You can rewrite your story as many times as you need. That’s not failure, that’s growth. 🌿

Reinvention doesn’t always have to be big or loud. Sometimes it looks like a new boundary. Sometimes it looks like saying no to what no longer fits. Sometimes it’s as simple as choosing rest when the world tells you to grind.

What part of yourself are you ready to release? And what version of you are you ready to step into?

October holds so many awareness months—Depression & Mental Health Screening Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For Black women and girls, these aren’t separate issues. They’re layered realities we carry in our bodies, our families, and our communities.

🖤 Our truths matter.
💜 Our softness matters.
💗 Our survival matters.

These mental health truths aren’t just reminders—they’re lifelines. Share them with a sister who needs to hear she’s not alone today.

Dear October, bring us softness, joy, and spaces where Black women and girls can breathe and be held. 🌸

This month, we’re choosing rest without guilt, clarity in the chaos, and peace that doesn’t wait.

What are you asking October to bring you? 🍂

When Black women take up space, we expand the world around us.
Our voices shift rooms, our presence shifts culture, and our stories shift what’s possible.

Your brilliance, your softness, your joy, none of it is small. You don’t have to dim yourself to be accepted, or shrink to make others comfortable. Every part of you was built to be seen, to be heard, to be celebrated.

So claim it. Own it. Period. 💗

Self-care isn’t always adding more to your plate.

Sometimes it’s choosing what to release. Just like the leaves, you don’t have to hold onto what’s heavy when it’s time to let go. 🍁🍂

Letting go doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re making space—for rest, for healing, for the new season that’s waiting for you.💛

For too long, Black girls have been mislabeled instead of listened to. Our feelings get dismissed as “attitude.” Our struggles are punished instead of treated. And when we finally ask for help, the system often fails to see us clearly.

The disparities are clear:
• Black children are 70% less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD compared to white children.
• Black women are more likely to be misdiagnosed with schizophrenia when actually experiencing depression or trauma-related disorders.
• Many Black girls are disciplined for their mental health symptoms instead of receiving care.

This is not because Black girls don’t struggle. It’s because bias, stigma, and lack of culturally competent care keep us from being taken seriously.

Black girls deserve providers who see us, schools that support us, and communities that believe us when we say we are hurting. Our healing is not negotiable. It is our right.

09/22/2025

Survival is strength, but joy is freedom.
And you were built for both!

Black women are often celebrated for pushing through, for carrying so much, for surviving. But survival isn’t the whole story, it’s just the beginning. ✨

Joy belongs to you too. Not the kind you have to earn, but the kind that feels light: laughter, rest, softness, peace.

Don’t shrink your story down to struggle. You deserve joy that fills you up.

This week, choose joy on purpose. 💚

Just like the seasons, we are meant to change. 🍂

Your energy, your routines, your needs, they don’t have to look the same in September as they did in July.

There is no one “right” way to adjust. Whether it’s slowing down, adding more rest, or letting go of old habits—you’re allowed to evolve with the season. 🩷

Save this as your reminder that change is not a setback—it’s part of the rhythm.

For Black women and girls, su***de prevention is not a distant issue. It’s here, and it’s urgent.

Su***de is now the 3rd leading cause of death for Black youth ages 10–24. Rates among Black youth rose by 36.6% in just three years. And Black women are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health struggles, yet less likely to receive care.

These numbers don’t define us, but they remind us that our healing cannot wait. Your story matters. Your voice matters. You matter.

You know you don't have to compromise who you are to be celebrated, cared for, or chosen right?! 🎊

No more shrinking.
No more second-guessing.
No more settling. 💚

When one of us chooses not to settle, we give permission for the rest of us to rise too. Your peace, your love, your softness—they are not negotiable.
