Today, we celebrate Black Girl Day Off! 🖤✨ Following World Mental Health Day, this special day emphasizes the importance of self-care and mental well-being for Black women. Honoring yourself is an act of radical self-love, and today, on Black Girl Day Off, it's essential that we, take a moment to pause, reflect, and recharge.

-TRIGGER WARNING: s*i*i*e- September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time to honor those we’ve lost and raise awareness about the mental health epidemic that affects millions of Americans. Recent research from an article Rolling Out shows a troubling rise in suicidal thoughts among Black women, especially those in higher income brackets—challenging the notion that financial stability ensures well-being. We couldn't help to think about our fallen sister, Antoinette Candia-Bailey. Her untimely death was not only a profound loss, but a poignant reminder of the struggles many Black women across the country. No matter how uncomfortable this topic is, we have to keep the conversation going. To those experiencing suicidal ideations or thoughts, just know you are not alone and your story does not end here. If you are experiencing suicidal ideations, text or call 988 to access the 27/4 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Thank you to Amari Apple for penning this thought-provoking piece.
