It's a Black History Month celebration! In honor of this year's theme of Black health and wellness, Rachelle and Rafiq navigate through the tale of their love story and share their personal encounters with depression. They also dive into what it was like to support each other through those seasons and what it took to overcome the darkness. "If you're someone struggling with depression, past trauma or just need help getting through a challenging transition, talking to a professional is not a sign of defeat. In fact, it is one of the first steps towards healing. Tap into your resources, your healthy community and remember you don't have to do it alone." - The Nabalis What have your experiences with counseling or therapy been like?
