Mental Health is declining and Black women are hit the hardest | Keita Joy | TEDxBeaconStreet

[@gwhite4792]

This is amazing, Dr. Keita! I can so relate to “Not stronger by choice...stronger by default”

[@StartupFundingEventGlobal]

Mental health is a serious issue. You can't change someone's childhood, but you can support them through difficult times :)

[@tondaniraluswinga2590]

For me its people always wanting to recreate people's childhoods because they can. I don't think I'll ever get over my childhood and I don't know how that's going to pan out for me in the future. Everywhere I go or turn to its people trying hard to recreate my childhood at all times

[@BIFC216]

Support these 🥜

[@Ebony5001]

@@tondaniraluswinga2590 yes ma mee too but you know what Jesus is the only way keep praying and relying on him your life will be more important and feeling fulfill in this life ❤❤

[@Kamirarenee]

We need to put ourselves first and break the cycle of making the women of our community carry everything. Self-care is vital!

[@maescreativespace444]

Dr. Keita THANK YOU FOR THIS TED TALK! I needed this! I’m struggling with mental health currently. I went though a major battle inward before I even understood I needed help. Than another year before I ASKED for help…

[@Vonda618]

Thank you! Yes, we have to take responsibility for self, 1st. We are NOT superwomen. It sounds like a compliment but it is NOT. Just because we allow someone to push us into an overwhelmed state of living, WE CAN SAY NO.

[@fsuknight711]

“Let’s run this race as one!!!” Speak thoroughly, Queen!!! 👸🏽✊🏾🙌🏾

[@wellbodisalone]

Mental health is a serious issue that shouldn't be ignored. Thanks for sharing it!

[@msdamiana1114]

This is sooo underrated

[@Makeupandmuscles827]

this is so spot on. I pulled my hair until I had a bald spot when I was about 7...I grew up in a very abusive household 😞 .

[@nicolechristmas3994]

I have that problem even to this day. trichotillomania!

[@mr.js2]

She's looks and sounds incredible so inspiring!!

[@sunflowersneed8631]

“Strong by default” I know you felt this Queens! Sending love, strength & light to all my sisters!

[@sheambitious29lachelle17]

This is what im dealing with.. im the one that saves the “family” im the one who everyone comes too for help.. to stay the night, to ask for a meal.. who people come too for a loan.. me Me me .. but no one comes to me or my aid or supports me ..

[@KB-fe2pg]

Same here! As a result, I’m planning to take a sabbatical within the next 18 months. I need a break.

[@nickiepodcast9935]

I truly needed to hear this as a Psychology graduate and feeling overwhelmed and pressured to do something or everything at once with post graduate life. I have definitely been feeling overoverwhelmed especially with my own Podcast called "Simply Nickie Podcast " on anchorfm, Spotify , Google and Apple Podcast. I talk about mental health awareness, self care and love journey, etc. Even I too get overwhelmed and your video made me feel heard and seen. Thank you for this

[@persephonebrown7877]

This is absolutely WONDERFUL! Thank you, Dr. Joy for doing this awesome TED Talk!

[@Sigmaa5.0h]

Men Are Hit The Hardest😒

[@DRLEWIS]

We are not stronger by choice or DIE. TRUTH.

[@carlforpresidentanthony4574]

That strong woman montrah weight is finally coming to bear. Maybe it's time to admit we're not as strong as we say. Its literally driving us insane.

[@tblack9711]

[@PatronDove]

Well said! Who gave this a thumbs down 🙄??

[@shellitaboxie]

Don’t even give it weight. We focus on the thumbs up!

[@oshanelaird288]

FACTS!

[@poha4749]

Strong strong strong. Just accept yourself. Then all the unnecessary stress will go away. No one is strong.

Ofc, ppl don’t care about us.

[@henrybovain1469]

I don't care how you take anything anymore cuz this is feeling is that you personally responsible

[@kirkgriffin7677]

This is BS. Just do less.

[@carlforpresidentanthony4574]

Does she realize like she admitted our sisters are the one pushing the myth... why dont you just stop? She said herself she spent years pushing it, isn't it her job to stop? 🕺🏾👾👊🏾😎

[@OHanzo]

Like she said, she IS strong - BUT - she’s a lot of other things too, which often get overlooked. My brother, you are one of those who are overlooking everything except for the strength comment. -Assuming that is what you’re referring to? Let’s not judge with bitterness and instead try to be sincerely helpful if at the very least not hurtful and bitter when we hear a sister cry out for help

[@thedrkeitajoy]

We are not pushing the myth. I stated that we only had 2 choices...strength or death. We are now not only doing our own inner work but holding others accountable for how they interact with us and dismantling the toxic implicit bias that has hurt us for years. Thank you for watching my transparent, vulnerable talk full of truth and change needed.

[@nikkihe1]

My brother you missed the entire mark, but thanks for watching and engaging in the conversation.

[@Oldmanriver33]

No one forces you guys to take on all that extra stuff. You said community, school, kids, church, work, and your husband. When really all you should be focused on is your husband and kids. I'd assume you both work and deal with the children so its not just you. Community and church should be tackled as an entire family not just you as a woman. Are you going to church by yourself? I doubt it. Lastly school is self inflicted. No one tells you to go to school. Thats more stress you added to your life

[@IAMINTERNATIONALISHA]

Wow

[@mickeyyymousee5679]

It's easier said than done, especially when you're not the one experiencing the pain. It's hard to shake off the feeling of worthlessness and undeservingness of help when others offer it. You might feel like a burden to those who have the resources to help. This feeling is particularly strong if it's the first time you're seeking help due to the stigma associated with it.

[@henrybovain1469]

Hey I'm going to qualify the looseness of that coincidence you are strong but check it out you also wrong so go ahead and judge the coincidence I have the weather say about balance of all those qualities even the plausibility of them makes way more sense to me that leaning anywhere to either of them at any given moment
