Good evening Facebook! The original purpose why I began this initiative so many years ago was due to my shock I was actually diagnosed with chronic depression. As a result of that, I've decided to make it a point to put a face to that condition to show that Black men and women can have this condition as well.

Acknowledging that you are depressed is not a sign of weakness. It is quite the opposite. It shows your strength in light of that condition that can make you feel downtrodden.

And it is with this that I will be launching a series of videos titled "This is what depression...", that will feature myself and various other individuals who are brave enough to bring the issue of depression and mental illness to the forefront so that it can be discussed and no longer be a taboo topic in our community.

If you are interested in this project inbox this page and I can fill you in on the details.

As always take care of yourselves and remember, "no matter how far you feel you have fallen, there is no place to go but UP!"
