Welcome to the very first episode of Or So She Thought, where we provide a safe place for us to share our lived experiences as Black Canadians, to be honest and vulnerable about the load we carry and how much it truly affects our mental health. I'm your host, Jyening Rose, and my goal is to explore what lies beneath the mask of strength, to let you know that you are not alone in your journey, and hopefully by talking about these things, together, we will reduce the stigma of mental health and normalize accessing care. In today's episode, I will be sharing my story with you and my experiences as a black person. We need to start talking about mental health more openly and provide resources for people to work towards reducing the stigma around mental health.
