🩷🤎 BEYOND THE WHITE COAT: Mental Health for Black Women Physicians 🧠🩺

Black women physicians carry a unique mental and emotional load — often while being expected to remain high-functioning, resilient, and composed.

Join Dr. Alauna, Trauma Psychiatrist, along with local Mocha Psychiatrists from across Greater Houston, for a candid virtual conversation created specifically for Black women physicians.
This is a space to talk openly about the realities that can affect our mental health — from burnout and imposter experiences to bias, emotional exhaustion, stigma, and the pressure to keep going, even when you need support too.

✨ Come experience a safe space to:
- Have honest conversations about preserving your mental hygiene
- Learn practical strategies to support your own mental health
- Connect with other Black women physicians who understand the experience
- Meet local Mocha Psychiatrists
- Learn more about the mental health landscape and resources available across Greater Houston
- Leave with trusted referral options for yourself, colleagues, and patients

You can be exceptional and still need support.

📅 Sunday, October 25, 2026

Diana Omenge on what the MSMMS scholarship has meant to her. 🌸

D is an MS3 at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas and she has been on our hearts since day one. 🤎

“Receiving the MSMMS scholarship has been both a financial blessing and a meaningful affirmation of my journey into medicine. As someone who has overcome significant financial and educational barriers, this scholarship has reminded me that there are individuals and organizations willing to invest in my education, potential, and aspirations. The scholarship has allowed me to focus more fully on my medical education by easing some of the financial burden associated with training. Instead of worrying as much about expenses, I have been able to dedicate more time and energy to studying, serving my community, and pursuing opportunities that are strengthening my growth as a future physician.” 🩷

This is exactly why we do this work. Every scholarship we fund is an investment in the future of Black medicine and D is proof of that. 🌸

Scholarship season is coming soon. Stay tuned for details! 👀🎓

Two major peer-reviewed papers in 2026 confirmed what many Black women already know in their bones: the pressure to always be strong is making us sick.

The Superwoman Schema — the expectation to remain resilient, suppress vulnerability, prioritize everyone else, and never ask for help — has been directly linked to delayed healthcare utilization, depression going untreated, chronic stress, elevated cardiovascular risk, and poor birth outcomes. (Baptiste et al., Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2026)

And yet. A Forbes investigation published July 2, 2026 documented something shifting. Black women are increasingly rejecting this schema and investing in therapy, preventive care, and their own wellbeing, not as vanity but as self-reclamation.

Rest is not weakness. Therapy is not a luxury. You are allowed to need things.

Swipe through all 6 slides. Then send this to a Black woman who needs permission to put herself first. 🩷
