Mental Health Awareness Month
Weekly Buzz
Every year during Mental Health Awareness Month when I go to write this side of the newsletter and find relevant stuff to share it is much harder. In the Rap and R&B community there is a lot less sharing and openness about mental health but it seems like some of the younger new entrants are feeling more confident to share their experiences and try to help their fans. One of those artists is SZA who during an acceptance speech used her platform to discuss it; “Last year, I was suffering mentally and emotionally, and I wasn’t able to stay all buttoned up and together. I wasn’t able to hold a smile or to keep things looking normal,” she mentioned her decision to seek professional help. “I can say that after a year of a lot of intense work that I am happier, I am healthier, and I’m in control of my emotions and thoughts more than I’ve ever been before.”
