We couldn't let September, Suicide Prevention Month, come to a close without talking about awareness, community, and the courage it takes to reach out for mental health support.
This week I'm so grateful to be in conversation with Tamu Lewis, mental health advocate and cofounder of The Lee Thompson Young Foundation. Tamu and her mother carry this work in loving memory of her brother, actor and activist Lee Thompson Young. What they are building is a gift to families and communities everywhere, and I'm honored to share her voice with you.

July is Minority Mental Health Month: Preston Igwe, MD
Our boys don't just need to be ready for class this fall; they need to be whole walking in.
This week I sat down with Dr. Preston Igwe (@presto.md), a board-certified psychiatrist who works with athletes and high performers, to talk about what it really takes for Black boys, teens, and student-athletes to thrive this school year. We got into the pressure to represent, the quiet signs of struggle that get mistaken for attitude, and what parents and coaches can actually do to show up for our young men.
This one is for the mamas ironing first-day outfits, the daddies running drills before practice, and every Black boy trying to figure out who he's supposed to be when he walks through those doors.
