@YaaAsantewaaBa I'm glad you didn't go through that. It's disheartening to seek help - which usually by the time someone seeks therapy it's often bc they've tried lots of things that haven't worked - and be let down by a so- called "professional". Btw, your tips are awesome and on point! π
This is unfortunately true. It's upsetting to hear experiences like this bc the journey to better mental health CAN be awesome with the right therapist! If you feel it's not working, don't give up!! Help is out there and with patience, you'll find the right fit! ππ€π
Therapists aren't automatically good at their jobs or ethical. Some therapists project. And many are enablers. I hope ppl who are seeking therapy can be mindful of this. I wish I had tips for how to spot when it's happening. If someone does have tips, let me know

Since the topic has been about black economic power or lack thereof, every day until Nov 7th, Iβll be tweeting about Black Solidarity Day: a national black holiday where we refrain from economic participation to encourage solidarity among black workers against our oppressors.
Being overwhemlingly financially successful in a society that has NEVER loved or cared about you or ppl who look like you isn't excellence, it's sad. Bc capitalism leaves most ppl without means behind and then blames them for their plight. That's how it's designed to work. βπΎ
I think abt her words, what her mother taught her as a child. Then I think back to her response to poor campus housing conditions of HBCU, Howard Univ, that were finally exposed. The definition of REAL "Black excellence" isn't Black capitalism.

You guys really buried the lede here. This statue is of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, an 18 year old girl and anti-Nazi partisan, who was tortured and then hanged by Nazis. Ukrainian soldiers removed the statue by tying a noose around its neck.
A lot of you are poor but won't admit it because you're brainwashed into thinking that being poor is a moral failing in this country when in reality it's a systemic failing. Once you accept it as a systemic failing, you then want to CHANGE the system which the rich doesn't want.
