As a mental health advocate it is my duty to be transparent during my times of distress as well.

This morning, because of severe mental instability, I almost did a walk-in to the 707 Crisis Care Center. I was unstable, unable and overwhelmed emotionally.

But God!

My Mommy literally talked me off the ledge. She exhorted me and spoke the very life she gave me, back into me. She gave me hope. She summoned her strength to support me through my fragile moment.

I was blessed with the very best! I thank God for my mother’s strength, love and support. We all paused this past Sunday to celebrate Mother’s Day but please never forget that a mother’s job is 365 days. Where they get no French benefits, vacation days or time off.

Mommy, with everything in me, thank you. 🤍

For anyone experiencing a mental health crisis, the 707 Crisis Care Center is here to assist. Located at:

There is hope. There is help. You are not alone.
