BIPOC Mental Health Awareness month continues! Th

BIPOC Mental Health Awareness month continues! This week we are psyched to share some tips from ambassador, producer, actress, singer, author and activist Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Though she had early successes in life including winning the titles of Miss India and Miss World in 2000, and starring in numerous Bollywood and Indian films, she experienced very painful setbacks in her early 30s.⁠
⁠
Chopra Jonas lost her father around the same time she moved to the U.S. to pursue her entertainment career. Though well-known and established in India, she had to prove herself all over again in a new culture feeling alone and depressed. She did try therapy at one point, but her busy schedule would not allow her to fully commit. Priyanka made significant strides but the pandemic yanked her back to a period of depression. She found herself courageously relying on friends and family during dark times rather than isolating, being in denial of her feelings. ⁠
⁠
Developing a routine, though her tendency was to withdraw, also gave her a sense of purpose. Eventually she began “therapizing,” talking to herself out loud with kind phrases like “allow myself to feel it” and “accept it and not beat myself up.” Chopra Jonas encourages others to not keep your feelings to yourself, rather seek out someone for support. She even relies on wiscom from her father advising her to not be afraid of failure, it is the progress made AFTER the so-called failure that matters. In terms of dealing with negative social media attention, she focuses on the positive and really prioritizes catering to your current body and what you bring to the table outside of appearance. Her present mantra is to try and find things that bring joy. ⁠
⁠
Hopefully, we can work to end the guilt and shame around mental health, especially in BIPOC communities. Remember, you are not alone, reaching out for help shines a light on the hurt and is a step towards healing.⁠

July is BIPOC Mental HealthAwareness month and this week we are thrilled to feature Karamo Brown. He is a well-known reality tv personality, tv host, author, actor and activist, perhaps most widely known as the culture advisor on Queer Eye. ⁠
⁠
As a Black gay youth growing up in the south, he struggled with depression and anxiety. Being the son of Cuban and Jamacian immigrants, his parents advised him to rely on God to deal with his problems and “pray it away,” thereby further implementing the notion that burdening others with your hardships is considered whiney and intrusive. He never considered therapy or rehab because the media only portrayed these being viable options for rich White folks. ⁠
⁠
Although out at 16, Karamo kept his struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts to himself. That is, until the culmination of years of suppression met him in a very dark moment and he finally realized the necessity and strength of relying on others for help. He has a background in social work and is a strong advocate for the LGBTQ comminity, specifically seeking to eradicate the HIV statistic plaguing Black gay and bisexual men. ⁠
⁠
He worked with the Obama administration to produce legislation and policies to support LGBTQ youth, prioritizing cultural representation in mental health. Karamo believes that the burden is not on the oppressed to teach the privileged, but rather for the privileged to acknowledge the disparaging inequalities and fight for change. He says “Loving yourself is not selfish, it’s important,” valuing vulnerability not as a weakness but as a powerful strength.⁠
