It\'s time for society as a whole to destigmatize mental illness.
with the rising rates of suicide among Black youth it is imperative for Black and Brown communities to break from the stigma of mental illness.
However, this collection of poetry and art is for sad Black girls, by fellow sad Black girls/femmes.
Sad Black Girl can\'t cover every sad Black girl\'s experiences, because sad Black girls aren\'t monolithic.
This a safe space filled with unconditional love and support.
You can let everything out, without holding back.
No expectations.
No stereotypes.
There is no judgement here.
But here, in the world of Sad Black Girl, we can feel.
When we do try, we are barraged with a number of stereotypes, insults, and apathy.
Society tells Black girls that we aren\'t allowed to feel.
It is not only an outlet for the author herself, but can be used as a space for others to release and learn.
Sad Black Girl was first created as an outlet for the author, Harmony Edosomwan, to discuss her struggles with depression, but through time, the purpose of SBG has shifted.
