⚠ Trigger Warning ⚠ "OK, I’m sorry!" Massey responds, before ducking behind the counter. Today's post should focus on raising awareness about National #Schizophrenia Awareness Day. Instead, I am talking about a mother who called for help and tragically lost her life due to a reckless decision made by an unjustified police officer. Sonya Massey's family mentioned she suffered from mental health issues, and it's clear that her responses may have indicated something was off. Police reformation is needed, racism, discrimination, prejudice.... This has to STOP! What will it take??? It's heartbreaking to witness again an again our black women, black mothers losing their lives when seeking help from the police, who are meant to protect us. This is why I will continue to pushing Find a Balance CIC to be acknowledged as an educational resource on mental health awareness in the workplace. Identifying early signs of mental health challenges is not as difficult as it may seem, and with awareness, such situations can be prevented. Prayers go out to Sonya Massey family 🙏🏿 If we fail to take a stand, raise our voices, and make a difference, who else will? Sonya Massey deserved more. Every Black woman and man deserves more. It's time to make a stand. If you have been impacted by this, feel free to send me a private message; my inbox is available. #JusticeForSonyaMassey #BlackLivesMatter #ProtectBlackWomen #SayHerName #InTheNameOfJesus #ProtectBlackWomen #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness
