Lets Talk: WELLBEING (Healing In The Black Community)

Published: July 30, 2020, 5:20 p.m.

With everything that has been going on lately, I feel it is really important for us to discuss the topic of Wellbeing In the black community. A couple of months ago COVID hit, lockdown followed and social distancing became a thing. Black people where labelled as High-Rick for the chances of catching COVID, which meant that we had to be extra cautious to ensure we don\u2019t catch it.

The black community rose and said enough was enough. The cold blooded murder of our brother George Floyd was the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back. Our beloved brother Will Smith was caught up in an entanglement not of his own making. Yet as a community we joked, laughed and chastised the man. Kanye once again showed us that all may not be well, and he may actually be in need of help. Our timelines have been filed with heavy content, Enough to give you a hangover!

I think it\u2019s about time we discuss \u2018Wellbeing\u2019 and healing in our community. In this episode I was joined by Ruben and Tiri. We discussed the importance of Mental health, Physical Wellbeing, the importance of setting expectations, the black family dynamics and Much more..  A little bit of kindness towards each other, goes a long way.
