Today marks the beginning of Black History Month! This month we honor and celebrate the achievements, history, and culture of Black Americans who have made significant contributions to society despite facing centuries of discrimination and racism. It is also a time to shine the light on the state of mental health for Black Americans. While not everyone’s experience is the same, there are some commonalities within the Black community that play a role in defining the mental health landscape for Black individuals. Overall, while Black people suffer from mental health conditions at about the same frequency as White Americans, members of the Black community often face structural and cultural challenges accessing the care and treatment they need. It is imperative that Black communities have access to culturally competent and effective mental health solutions, and that they feel comfortable getting help. Let’s continue working towards improved mental health resources and support for Black Americans. #mentalhealth #blackhistorymonth

This #BlackHistoryMonth remember that the stories of Black Americans are more multi-dimensional than what you’ll find in history books, and that history is still being written. Read, watch, or experience something that increases your understanding. For Black Americans honoring this history may be healing, especially if you were raised in an environment where your identity wasn’t centered or the Black experience wasn’t appropriately acknowledged. Or because the history of Black people in the US contains so much injustice, focusing on it can bring up challenging emotions. Remember that all of these feelings are valid, and you can choose to engage (or not) with Black History celebrations however feels right to you.

NAAMC is proud to recommend "I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness" by Austin Channing Brown. An eye-opening memoir, Brown shares her early realization of racial dynamics in America when she learned the strategic choice behind her name—designed to mask her identity from future employers. Raised in environments that predominantly celebrated whiteness, she embarked on a profound journey towards embracing and loving her blackness amidst a society riddled with racial divides. Through her narrative, Brown takes us from the neighborhoods of Black Cleveland to the corridors of power in majority-white institutions, dissecting the challenges and contradictions within America's pursuit of racial justice and diversity. Her book stands as a critical beacon for understanding the role of white, middle-class Evangelicalism within the context of escalating racial tensions. It's a must-read for anyone ready to explore the complexities of race in America, echoing the impactful works of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michael Eric Dyson. "I’m Still Here" not only sheds light on the personal struggle for identity and dignity but also offers a hopeful perspective on how embracing blackness can pave the way for true inclusivity and healing. Join us in delving into this powerful story of resilience and discovery. #NAAMC #blackhistorymonth #thechurch #literacy #shareblackstories

#FrequencyFriday "Did integration fail Black people? Imagine integration as one of the most detrimental events to our community: Black entrepreneurship decreased, Black unemployment increased, Black marriages decreased, and single-parent homes increased. They didn’t integrate us to give us equality; they integrated us because we did far better than expected without them." - Dr. Ken

#Integration was Most Definitely Detrimental For #US #AfricanX People!!! What sense did it make to fight the #CivilRights struggle to give Your money to racist people who hate Us???!!! The Following Is My Opinion, Of Course!!! We Are Now Three Generations Deep, With a large majority of #BlackPeople: - Striving For the #White version of the #AmericanDream: - #Consuming #DesignerBrands, from #Euro companies - Seeking to #Assimilate into #Homogeneous #Eurocentric Culture, rather than a modern #Afrocentric #Culture - Not Being Concerned With Building Strong #AfricanX communities - Black Youths who think they have created their own culture, when all they've done is enable corporate #Amerikkka to pervert the culture created by their #Boomer Grandparents + #GenX Parents! - A large percentage of #LateGenX, #Millennial + #GenZ #BlackWomen who seek a #standardofbeauty, with the objective of looking as #white or #Asian as #MoneyCanBuy; rather than as #Fit #Healthy + #Naturally #Beautiful as possible #NuffSaid!!!
