Each July, we celebrate Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. This year, the theme we\\u2019ve chosen is The Skin I\\u2019m In.

So often as Black women we\\u2019re told it\\u2019s okay to be ourselves as long as it doesn\\u2019t make others uncomfortable.\\xa0We\\u2019re told to embrace our individuality but in the ways that align neatly with the expression of individuality that\\u2019s digestible for society. But what happens when you don\\u2019t feel like you fit into the mold? We\\u2019re not always shown how to manage the othering and the stigma that comes with it. Well this month, we\\u2019re doing exactly that and expanding what it means to show up as a Black woman and sharing words of encouragement to any sisters struggling to accept what feels natural to them.\\xa0

All month long you can expect content on our blog, here on the podcast, in our Sister Circle community, and across our social media channels to celebrate being authentic to you. We\\u2019ll be engaging the ways history has impacted the way we love and value ourselves and\\xa0tapping into the ways we can combat negative self-image.
