The app launched a new feature "Suicide Support= No Cops" a free virtual chat wall strictly for Black folks experiencing suicidal ideation. This feature was created due to Black folks with mental health disorders... statistically being at a higher risk of being killed by Cops.

Landing grants for Black mental health have been more challenging with changes in government. DEI rollbacks have been serious. My mental health resource The Safe Place App is working to fundraise $1,800 by May 12th. Please read my campaign and consider donating today.

It’s #BlackHistoryMonth and I have to ask: Are people including enslaved Africans, descendants of those enslaved, and Black people whose unjust, low-wage labor sustained the economy in the 1800s/1900s as immigrants when they say “immigrants built this country”? Because chattel slavery was for the express purpose of building empire. But our ancestors weren’t folks who came here seeking a better life. They arrived in chains, were bred like cattle, and severely violated, sexually and otherwise. Their trauma shouldn’t be diminished or forgotten, even in efforts toward freedom from ICE’s inhumane, violent tactics. We can only get to justice for all when truth is taught, embraced, and spoken.

Those who claim, for instance, that “this is not the America I know,” are inadvertently admitting that they didn’t consider the injustices inflicted upon Black people and racial minorities as disqualifying

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS. ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion. This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

@BerniceKing recently posted this cartoon of her father Dr. King in the 1960s. This inspired me to do a short video on racial stereotypes in media and how they impact Black mental health. #Blackmentalhealth #MLK

Here is a quote from Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. you won’t hear from politicians who are “honoring his legacy” today: “The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”.

Bernice King: “The recent claim by President Trump that the 1964 Civil Rights Act harmed white Americans is just wrong and it’s dangerous. It re-writes history in a way that fuels fear and resentment. My father and so many leaders of the movement did not risk their lives to divide this nation. They did so because America was denying millions basic rights. The right to work, the right to vote, to live where they please, to move through society with dignity. The Civil Rights Act did not give black people special treatment. It made discrimination illegal. The same discrimination you’re trying to turn around and use.”

It takes a lot of ignorant racism to live on stolen land and complain about immigration.
