My Story
Growing up, I had no idea what mental health was. I grew up in a Christian family and Jamaican-American household with not one but two Jamaican parents. In my house, we didn’t talk about our feelings. To me, mental health meant you were crazy, and as a man, I was raised to be the protector, the provider, and the priest.I wasn't taught to be vulnerable and I learned early on to suppress my emotions. In 2014 I left home to be the first in my family to attend college.I was excited to go to college, but as a first-generation college student, I dealt with a lot of challenges.
I worked to provide for myself financially, I was a full-time student and I felt the daily pressure of succeeding at a high level to prove to my family, myself, and my 2 haters that I could be successful.
