On #WorldMentalHealthDay and every day, I am committed to advocate for mental health awareness, open the conversation around the illness, and provide resources 🙏 As you know, mental health has had it’s impact on my family. I watched my mother struggle for years and I want you to know that suffering in silence is not the answer. It’s OK to not be OK.
1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in any given year (CDC.gov). You are not alone. You are never alone. Call. Reach out. Visit someone that may need a little extra love this weekend. ✨
The mission of my new foundation, The Big Silence, is to normalize conversations about mental health, share empathy and understanding, and give tools and resources for those struggling with or impacted by a mental health condition. The Big Silence is also the title of my memoir & upcoming podcast. I am honored to continue to break the silence.

Can’t count how many times tone it up has saved me 🥺 with illness, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and my mother passing away, I find it very comforting that Tone it up exists as a supportive community. As someone who’s always had a difficulty maintaining friendships because of my mental health its been a comfort that I’ve had somewhere I can turn even if its not physical but just knowing that there’s others like me. Ive grown as a woman with you and thank you Karena and Katrina for always showing good examples for us others, you two feel like the big sisters I never had 👑
