Mental health struggles in the coloured community

  • サマリー

  • This episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING my Skinne Bekkies. 


    If these are terms ignite memories of experiences you are working hard to heal from, leave you feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable, then please skip this episode:


    -Gaslighting

    -Mental illness

    -Suicide

    -Poverty and Mental Wellness

    -Childhood trauma 


    As three women of colour with different experiences and struggles with mental health, we explore the complexities around how we firstly identify the problem and then seek treatment. 


    As women of colour most of us do not have space for the exploration all versions of ourselves. Self-exploration is a luxury that usually, in South Africa, comes with a certain amount of affluence.


    Why are we as a community so stunted in terms of our education around mental illness? Is our current way of life contributing to the rising wave of people who are struggling? What does it really mean to be poor and struggling in South Africa? 


    With tender hearts we touch on the very real reality that women and girls of colour face on the daily.
