Podcast Episode: Breaking the Silence – Real Talk on Depression in Black and Brown Communities

In this powerful episode of La Vida Blended, hosts Mila and Donnell dive deep into a conversation that’s long overdue: mental health and depression in Black and Brown communities. With raw honesty, they share their personal battles with depression—from clinical depression to the grief that comes with miscarriage and post-partum depression.

Together, they explore why mental health often feels taboo in these communities and how cultural beliefs have historically minimized or silenced the struggles of those dealing with depression. They discuss the unique ways depression shows up, from irritability and anger to physical symptoms, and the importance of breaking through the stigma to prioritize emotional well-being.

Listeners will learn about different types of depression, like seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and how to recognize symptoms in themselves or loved ones. The hosts also challenge the cultural norms that tell us to “just push through” or “pray it away,” and emphasize that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Whether you’re someone who’s struggled in silence or want to be better equipped to support others, this episode provides coping strategies, insights into therapy, and the significance of community support. Mila and Donnell are here to remind you: it’s okay not to be okay, and you’re not alone in this fight.

Tune in to La Vida Blended for real talk, hope, and healing as we navigate mental health together.
