@theGrio I am not sure how this is different than the issues that we have seen with other cultures and attacking black women how much more women -people. If we cannot be kinder to our own then ultimately it is a reflection of his lack of compassion towards himself.

Killer Mike has apologized after a now-deleted IG comment seen as dissing Ayesha Curry — which Steph called out. 👀 Grio Fam, do you forgive comments aimed at your loved ones? 🔗 Read why Mike says he’s sorry + how he says his words got misconstrued: thegrio.com/2025/10/01/kil…

@cnnbrk You have taken all accountability away through destroying systems that allow us to find information. And promoting people who have no problem lying. You can say anything you want. This headline does not feel true.

@theGrio I agree. Are you serious with this news article?

@JourneyofHope4U It will be critical 2 understand that psychiatry, mental hlth n medicine are so colonized that the goal is to make those who should be clients -children so they are no longer able 2 question the society they are in. This is the reason U can’t change Rx which would signal equals.

You're a psychiatrist and you have someone experiencing drug-induced parkinsonism because you have placed them on the highest dose of an antipsychotic! They're sitting in front of you vibrating like a leaf, how do you manage to leave them on the drug for over a year and half? How is that possible? youtu.be/5NHI4Pbbark?si… via @YouTube

#MAGA don’t regret voting for the worst candidate ever. They regret their vote is negatively affecting them.

When people close to us give up, it can feel like there were no signs. But we can’t see in others what we refuse to see in ourselves. Please validate the suffering you are experiencing FIRST. #anxiety #depression

Being able to see inequality in an event requires you to see the inequality that occurred in your own childhood. People who say they are not being biased are avoiding seeing how they were treated by someone they wanted to get approval of.

The love or validation, to be seen and heard by at least one person can free you internally so you can be free in this world. Otherwise nothing will prevent you from becoming what you hate in this world.

You don’t owe anyone a belief in their way of doing things when your way speaks to you. This is even when they are your parents or family. Obligations are the way we control people with their guilt. #anxiety #depression

FYI this lack of vocabulary is why people opt for silence when they try and express themselves.

There are many topics we don’t think children should know that leave them struggling to figure it out on their own. This contributes 2 anxiety and depression from being helpless n overwhelmed in so many situations. Adding emotional vocabulary about difficult topics is empowering.

But please make that something that comes from a place of internal motivation and connection rather than the hustle of externalized gratification

GIVE YOURSELF SOMETHING TO WORK TOWARD - CONSTANTLY

Self-actualization is taken from children who are restricted from becoming themselves through authoritarian or abusive parenting. It leaves them unable to start or complete goals because they never truly believe in themselves. #anxiety #depression

We don’t always recognize that we are in shame, but the behaviors that seem extreme are often a clue like lying, cheating, substance use or pretending to be something we’re not like happy. #emotions #anxiety #depression
