Too loud. Too sensitive. Too emotional. Too tired.
Too often, BIPOC lupus warriors are told we’re "too much."
But the truth is, we’ve just been unheard for far too long.
Your voice matters. Your healing matters.

July is #MinorityMentalHealthMonth.

In 2020, fewer than 1 in 2 Black adults got mental health care. Asian Americans were 60% less likely to get treatment than their white peers. (FDA)

Stigma, cost, & access are real barriers.
Mental health is health. 💜 #LupusLeap #BIPOCHealing
