Todays Topic: Mental Health

Putting energy into your mental health is really necessary and key to success and happiness. There are reasons why oppression prevails, and majority of this is based off of mental health. Think about it. If the powers that be didnt psychologically torment, isolate, trigger, and provoke the mental of those oppressed then the people would rise and unite. But if you destroy the mental and the will from within then you demobiize.

Within households we must protect the brain power and pride and knowledge of self for our youth. Not only the youth but our families. We for one need to keep our elders close. There is no reason why we should be utilizing senior homes, unless the family has zero capacity to care for their elders. And even then there should be involvement from the family. How do we make sure our legacies are build if we keep breaking cycles. What I mean by that is that we feel our past generations reverberate through us as we connect to our elders. We can push the journey onward. How many times do you find out that you had a near relative that may be only two generations behind. And yet yall have the same passion possibly building cars, or boxing, or cooking. We waste precious time creating legacies by not communicating. Communication is amazing for the mental. -expression -energy, currency, into the atmosphere -release

But it is also good because you will be better support to the people you love. Be able to help them when they are in need and provide protection. We have to have more of a partnership.

EachMindMatters.org Has a resource center

In fact, the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health states that African Americans are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the general population. Studies show that with support and treatment, between 70% and 90% of all people with mental health challenges have said that they have reduced symptoms and improved quality of life.

For US Segment (1min) Black Fact of the Day:

blackpast.org George Washington Murray Birthday Sept 22, 1853 Sumter County, South Carolina A landowner, congressman, inventor, lecturer and writer.
Born to parents that were wrongly enslaved George taught himself how to read and write. At 18 he decided to attend a nearby school, but shortly after he was promoted to the teacher. In 1874 George attended University of South Carolina while the reconstruction era was accepting Melanated people. He was awarded a state scholarship but wasn’t able to finish after beginning his sophomore year due to segregation. He spent the first 13 years of his life as a slave, but after the Emancipation Proclamation enrolled at South Carolina State University and later continued his education at the State Normal Institute. George Murray’s patentIn the next 20 years he served as a school teacher, the Chairman of the Sumter County Republican Committee and as a customs inspector for the Port of Charleston, a position was appointed to by the President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison. In 1892 George Murray was elected as United States Congressman, representing the state of South Carolina. In this position he frequently spoke from the floor of the House, describing the plight of Black citizens and imploring his fellow Congressmen to protect those citizens rights. One topic that Murray spoke openly about was the plight of the Black inventor. In that day of age, most whites were completely unaware of the success that many Blacks had enjoyed in inventing useful devices which were benefiting ordinary citizens. Murray recounted these achievements and read them into the Congressional Record. While serving in his second term, Murray secured patents for eight inventions, including cultivating and fertilizing equipment and a cotton chopper. After serving two terms in Congress, Murray became a real estate speculator, eventually moving to Chicago, Illinois in 1905. He died in April of 1926 and was buried in Illinois.

A group of University of Alberta students is developing environmentally-friendly menstrual products made almost entirely out of hemp. Alberta is the second-largest producer of hemp but much of it goes unused, according to Nicole Sanchez, a fourth-year-student studying business, economics and law, and project manager of Hempact. “Hemp is normally used for its seed. The hemp stock is considered as waste,” she said. Hempact is taking that excess hemp material and creating a product that will be single-use and disposable; the menstrual pad would have hemp fiber in the middle sandwiched by a bioplastic that the students are developing. “One woman goes through menstruation for an average of 38 years,” Sanchez said. “That’s about 300 pounds of waste per one person. That could take about 800 to 1,000 years to biodegrade.” Sanchez said current menstrual products are 10 per cent cotton and 90 per cent plastic, which is why it takes so long for them to biodegrade. “If we release this product, it would take six months to biodegrade. That’s a big difference,” she said. The idea originated from a pitch competition in Drayton Valley that focused on what to do with the province’s agricultural waste. It has since become a 16-student operation at the university. “Women are able to use a product that they know is environmentally-friendly without needing to change up their routine of how they go about their menstrual hygiene habits,” said Anka Chan, Hempact’s research and development officer. Chan is also a fourth-year-student at the University of Alberta studying neuroscience. “We’re really trying to develop a product that is going to be as good or better than those in the market that women are using now.” Chan said there have been some challenges with the hemp, including working on techniques to soften the fibers for comfort, but the students are making strides towards a final prototype. The group hopes to help break down the stigma behind menstruation, but the environment and what is in store for future generations is front of mind for both women. “Essentially every woman menstruates you know. It’s not something we can avoid. If we have a product that is good for the environment, then why not?” Sanchez said. She said the group will eventually look at developing tampons and diapers from hemp waste. The students are looking to have a working prototype by the end of August, fine-tune it until the end of December and trial the product with university students in early 2020.
