Here are the details on my multimedia mental & emotional wellness movement aimed at Black and brown folks, GetSomeJoy.
Our site, gogetsomejoy.com is now live. Go poke around, submit resources, and learn more about what we're trying to do. It's a work in progress, and is updated regularly as we compile resources.

We had two pretty nifty teleconference moments last week to introduce this joy-flavored movement, the events, our content plan, the video storytelling series, the online therapist and resource database, Mental Health First Aid trainings, and my lovely team to advocates, agencies, homies, mental health professionals, those in the struggle, and so forth. We also talked about how this project came together and ways folks and businesses can get involved in helping us broaden, normalize, and amplify conversations around mental and emotional challenges and get more of us connected with the support we need to be great (and continue living) out here.
If you weren't able to attend the party, the recording of the first call is below. Listen when you have a moment, and also:
