For Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July, we are cutting through the clinical jargon and having the conversations that actually matter. In this episode, we sit down with Sharon Holmes (Inspiring Here and Now) and Annette Jones (Jones Community Solutions) for an unfiltered, unapologetic look at the realities of navigating the behavioral health system as Black women. We tackle the exhaustion of constantly explaining your lived experience to practitioners, the systemic barriers that keep minority professionals out of peer support spaces, and what actual, roll-up-your-sleeves allyship looks like in practice. Mental Health America's theme for 2026 is ”More Good Days, Together”. But getting to those good days takes more than just positive thinking—it requires safe spaces, systemic change, and fierce community support.
