2023 Health Justice and Mental Health Conference

July 21st & 22nd, 2023, our Black Mental Health Village convened a powerful conference at Tennesse State University - Avon William Campus. I want to start the blog by thanking everyone at TSU who made this event possible. Their hospitality was unmatched and they made us feel like we were home. We were home to share our stories. After all, home isn't a geographical boundary. Home is every space and place that we create to love and invest in Back People. We're on a homecoming tour to affirm that our health, mental health, and well-being matter. And we're grateful for the support of all the organizations who made this kickoff possible.

In the words of Dr. Robbie Melton, "Life is good"
