Mental Health in the Black Community in Carlisle, PA this past Saturday was more than just an event, it was a movement! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Shout out to Deputy Mayor of Carlisle Safronia Perry for being the brainchild and coordinating the monumental event, and for inviting me to be a panelist! 🫡
Furthermore, Safronia- Thank you for your leadership in making the event successful including inviting Mayor Sean Schultz of Carlisle, PA, who introduced Luray Schlegel Co-Responder for Carlisle Borough, our esteemed keynote speaker Stephen Sharp who spoke about Teen Su***de, our dynamic panelists who spoke openly and passionately about the mental health challenges as well as triumphs we all experience in this thing called life, our 4 ethnic restaurant vendors who served us delicious food for our souls, our soothing self care bags, our beloved friends, family, and guests who came out to participate, and finally all of the amazing volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the event a huge success! ❤️🖤💚
From the bottom of my heart I say Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Let’s continue to do the work and support each other along the way… and if we get tired, we must rest, but never quit! 👊🏾
🖤
