Black parents need to take mental health much more seriously. Too many of y’all end up on your death bed questioning why none of your children speak to you yet you had no empathy raising them. Mental illness doesn’t gaf what you look like, anyone can be suffering from it. Isolating them and choosing to remain closeminded in your approach worsens their condition!! #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealth #blackparents #blackculture #blackcommunity #parenting #empathy #depression #sobriety #mentalillness #trauma #storytime

I cannot stress how important it is to take care of your physical health. Going sober, excercising(doesn’t have to be intense, walking counts!), prioritizing rest and focusing on nutrition did sooo much for me. The changes don’t happen overnight so the sooner you start the better. It also doesn’t have to be all at once! #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealth #health #sobriety #isolation #social #sleep #diet #selfimprovement #vitamins

A lot of this is generational, bred into us from slavery and conditioning but that doesn’t mean we can’t make active efforts against it. So many ppl will watch this and say “well I was raised like that but I turned out fine” Make sure your definition of fine aligns with healthy, safe and sound. In your head, heart and in how you move & interact with the world. There’s better for us but a lot of it starts with how these children are being parented. #poc #parenting #blackparents #generationaltrauma #abuse #fear #safe #children #generationalcurses #latino #ethnic #blackcommunity #blackculture #family #gentleparenting

I’ve grown to admire people who have a “team”/community to rely on but I can’t form that without being able to ask for help #hyperindependence #independent #selfimprovement #community #therapy #team #advice

It was between this and a type 4 sew in and I’m so glad I chose this!! Taking it off at the end of the night is the best part🤭 #naturalhair #naturalhairnovember #type4hair #protectivestyles #curlyhair #wiginstall #gluelesswig #hairextensions #sewin #curlywig #kinkyhair

Materialistic people are just byproducts of capitalism. Interesting to see how they react to those who didn’t fall victim to the overconsumption being forced unto us. #overconsumption #consumerism #underconsumption #deinfluencing #generationalwealth #debtfree #materialistic #capitalism

Sooo many beautiful people who are tricked by the limits of our cameras. There’s no greater lens than our eyes! #beauty #photography #camera #socialmedia #perception #irl

Learning how to do your own hair is such a huge investment in yourself, especially as a black girl!! No more booking sites, packed salons or “hey boo”s. True peace. #DIY #fulanibraids #knotlessbraids #Summer #hairstyles #blackgirl #beads #naturalhair #braids #protectivestyles

There’s an entire world waiting to prey on innocent young women. YES it is your job as a parent to do everything in your power to protect your daughters including making them feel safe, loved and secure. That also includes proper education on boys, men and dating regardless of how “uncomfortable” those conversations seem #parenting #advice #innocence #children #women #Love #teen #trauma #healthy

@isartyou Talent and “gifts” are nothing without practice and patience!! It may take others less time but that has nothing to do with you! If you trust in the vision you’ll invest the time to fulfill it! #artist #creative #painting #mixedmedia #patience #artistry #art #therapy #vision #tutorial

Anxiety can be crippling so if it’s something you struggle with make a conscious effort to take your life back. Isolation is definitely something that worsens it, we are ultimately social creatures who need to interact with others to thrive. #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealth #anxiety #anxietyrelief #selfimprovement #confidence #selfesteem #social

This generation of children’s lack of obedience is worrisome. Unfortunately too many of them will end up learning through experience #children #parenting #teenmom #obedience #teen #trust #teach #family #tradition

Be intentional about what you seek because you WILL find a surplus of information to support it. Always seek the opposition so you remain unbiased in your line of thinking. #consciousness #intentions #bias #selfimprovement #openminded #LearnOnTikTok #growth #algorithm #brain #computer #truth #believe

Behind a life on instant gratification is often long term postponement. Most good things are worth waiting for #selfimprovement #habits #present #lifehacks #choice #goals #Relationship #cycle #future #patience

Joking about assault, abuse and 🍇 is sooo heartless idgaf what y’all say! It’s only “not that deep” to y’all bc you’re not the victim. After all that joking the case will be remembered by the 1000 bottles of baby oil and not wtf actually happened!! #diddy #humanity #consciousness #SA #victim #empathy #heartless #compassion #dv #awareness

Doing things for my future self has become one of my favorite ways to practice self love! #selflove #selfimprovement #practice #dating #Love #selfworth

You’re not an innately depressed person, you’re a person experiencing depression. You’re not an innately anxious person, you’re a person who experiences more anxiety than others. Seeing these forces as outside of you helps you to actively fight against them. You have much more power than you think. #mentalhealthmatters #mentalillness #MentalHealth #depression #anxiety #selfimprovement #thedeliverance #growth #comfort

Judgement says more about the judger and less about you. This is YOUR life, don’t let anyone’s perception of you stop you from living in your truth. #dreams #creative #artist #musician #judgement #passion #truth #selfimprovement #haters

Trusting someone off of gazing upon their vessel is a bit scary y’all😕 #trust

It’s not a matter of if, but how! This isn’t to say there won’t be trials nor struggles that you should prepare for but if you wholeheartedly believe that its the path you’re meant to be on you should trust that you’ll fulfill eventually #selfimprovement #dream #fulfillment #learning #choice #goals #limitless
