Mental Exercise & Peace

My name is Dee and I have been on a path of self awareness for quite awhile now. I’ve learned so much about myself and from which I came. This knowledge has awakened in me immense empathy for all walks of life! I am most familiar with being identified as a melanated or black woman raised in America. There are a lot of things people assume about you based on the way you look but more so the shade of your skin. I want to bring awareness to mental health world wide and specifically in the Afro-diaspora. I have been working in healthcare for 13 years and counting and I have developed many skills along the way. I predominantly implore all of my life experiences to care for my patients. It wasn’t until almost a decade into being a care giver I realized that the physical labor I give to take care of the people in my community wasn’t the only vital part of their healing. My words of health education and positive encouragement plays an equally necessary role in the treatment of any dis-ease in the body. Your mental health should be treated in collaboration with your physical health. Ultimately the human body is created to heal itself but we must have that Mind, Body, and Soul connection.
