July is Minority Mental Health Awareness month. In the A.M., I'll be on my way to Birmingham, Alabama for the Minority Mental Health Summit and I am both glad and grateful for the opportunity to discuss Mental Health and the challenges we face in Indian Country in terms of mental health education, treatment and addressing the deadly stigma of mental illness in our communities. From 12:15-1:30pm on Thursday (July 13th), I'll be sitting on the Activism as a Form of Mental Health Advocacy panel with Azza Altiraifi, Quentin “Que” Bell, Jason Branch, and Gabrielle Bowie. Immediately following from 1:30-2:30pm, Johnna James, Miki Jackson and myself will be presenting on Suicide Pre and Postvention in Indian Country.

I going live with my run this week... This is my route...you know how that goes... I'm going to do my run for Elijah live this week.

Had the honor of witnessing Dr. Nadia Richardson speak about the efforts of @no_moremartyrs a couple days ago. July is minority mental health awareness month and proceeds from the sales of my art went towards her wonderful organization. Thanks for all you're doing to bring awareness to these issues.

After the day that I had yesterday, it was a blessing to receive an unexpected reminder that what I do is appreciated and that it matters. It takes a great deal of courage and sacrifice to work toward healing and change. I can't thank Nadia and No More Martyrs enough for all their work and for allowing me to be a part of it. #NoMoreMartyrs #minoritymentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthmatters #bbof

There's a lot that I want to tell you about the #NoMoreMartyrs #MinorityMentalHealth summit. It was beautiful and healing, unlike anything that I've ever experienced, but it will have to wait til I am in a better headspace. I had an unexpected breakthrough in my own journey and I am still trying to come to terms with it and I am emotionally drained #mentalhealthmatters
