This episode confronts the urgent mental health crisis facing Black youth, inspired by the transformative work of Tyra Ware and her "Keeping our kids out kaskets" initiative. We dive into staggering statistics, the impact of systemic barriers, and the hidden struggles many young people face—including food insecurity, racial trauma, and the pressure to succeed. Discover how awareness is growing, culturally competent resources are making a difference, and hope persists even in the face of adversity. Join us as we explore practical steps for parents, educators, and community leaders to break the silence, support our youth, and build a future where Black children can thrive.
