Today we honor Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of freedom delayed and freedom fought for. It's a day to reflect, to celebrate Black resilience, and to uplift the brilliance and contributions of Black communities that continue to shape our world.
At Radiant Counseling, we also believe that mental wellness is part of liberation. Healing is resistance. Thriving is power.
This year, we’re spotlighting two women whose work goes far beyond the screen.
Kerry Washington has shared her own story with courage, reminding others that they’re not alone. She’s partnered with organizations to support youth mental health and has consistently used her platform to advocate for emotional well-being and justice.
Taraji P. Henson, through her Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, has become a bold voice in making mental health support more accessible to Black communities. She’s opened doors, started hard conversations, and shown the world that seeking help is strength.
Their advocacy reminds us that representation matters—and that wellness should never be a luxury.
Here’s to Black excellence, to healing, to freedom in every form.
