World Mental Health Day: A Sacred Reminder to Pause and Reconnect

Today is World Mental Health Day — a global reminder that mental health is health.

As leaders, caregivers, and community builders, we often carry more than we share. But healing starts when we give ourselves permission to pause — to breathe, to reflect, and to connect with what we need.

At Sacred Spaces and Connections, we believe in creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and supported — especially when life feels heavy. Whether in the workplace, in schools, or within our communities, psychological safety and compassionate leadership are the cornerstones of wellness.

💭 Take a moment today to ask yourself:

What do I need right now?

How can I be kinder to myself and others?

Who might need a reminder that they matter today?

Let’s keep the conversation going — not just today, but every day.

As September ends, I hold two truths close:
💜 This is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.
💚 And on September 15th, it made ten years since my mother’s death.

Grief and prevention share a common thread—both remind us of how fragile life is and how deeply connection matters.

If you are struggling, please know this:
✨ Your life is sacred.
✨ Your story still matters.
✨ You do not have to carry it all alone.

If you are grieving, know this too:
🌿 Your loss is valid.
🌿 Your healing is allowed to take time.
🌿 Hope can grow even in the cracks of sorrow.

At Sacred Spaces and Connections, we honor both prevention and grief. We hold space for remembering, for healing, and for hope that rises even when the road feels heavy.

This month, I carry my mother’s memory with tenderness while extending my heart to all who are struggling or grieving silently.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988—the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
You are not alone.

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month.
And we are in mourning once again.

The recent passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner—a voice, a presence, a storyteller deeply rooted in Black artistry—reminds us that even our brightest lights carry burdens we may never see.

His legacy was layered with creativity, depth, and cultural impact. His loss leaves a silence that echoes in homes, hearts, and generations.

As we honor him, we must also turn inward and ask:
How are we really doing?
What grief are we carrying in silence?
Where can we rest, heal, and be held?

At Sacred Spaces and Connections, we are committed to amplifying the voices, pain, and healing of BIPOC communities—not just this month, but every day.

Because mental health is still stigmatized.
Because grief is often unspoken.
Because rest and support are still revolutionary acts.

This month, and in Malcolm’s memory, let’s honor each other by showing up fully:
For our emotions.
For our healing.
For our right to be well.

You are seen. You are sacred. You are not alone.

This Independence Day, let’s redefine liberty: the power to seek therapy, to set boundaries, to choose joy. Mental health IS liberation.

🧠💚 “Mental health is a journey, not a destination.”
This Minority Mental Health Month, let’s honor Bebe Moore Campbell’s legacy by committing to whole healing — mind, body, and soul. Your story matters. Your healing matters.
🌿 Cultural strength is not a barrier to healing — it’s the bridge.
Let’s celebrate the resilience and wisdom passed down through generations in Black, Indigenous, and communities of color. Healing honors our ancestors.

✊🏾 Juneteenth: A Sacred Space for Grief and Victory 🕊️

Today, we honor the truth that freedom was delayed—but not denied.

Juneteenth is not just a celebration of liberation. It is a day layered with grief for the ancestors who labored, suffered, resisted, and died—never tasting the freedom we now hold. Their pain is stitched into our DNA, but so is their power.

As a grief strategist, I hold space for the truth that grief and joy can exist at the same time. We can mourn the generational trauma, the systemic injustice, and the lives lost—while still standing in victory. We are the living proof of their prayers, their perseverance, and their unshakable hope.

Today is a day of remembrance, but also of resilience.

Let us not rush past the sorrow. Let us sit with it, learn from it, and rise because of it. Because to be Black in America is to constantly wrestle with grief—and still choose to shine.

🖤 This Juneteenth, we remember.
🟢 We rise.
🔴 We reclaim our joy.
🟣 We honor our healing.

Freedom is sacred. So is grief. So are we.
