As an African American, I always felt that mental health in general is a challenging topic to speak about and nobody really knows the correct words to use. It has been stated that a black person who suffers from a mental health illness is not reported as much as a white person who may suffer from a mental health illness (Guerra, 2022). As a black person it is already hard being black in this society however, being black and someone who suffered from mental health issues made
