PTSD doesn’t always look obvious. It can look like withdrawal, irritability, nightmares, or being on edge. PTSD is not a weakness. Check on your people. Hold space with care. #PTSDawareness #MentalWellness #DeeDeesCry

It was a beautiful day to be outside for the annual Roxbury @UnityParade. This event is a testament to the strength and spirit of Roxbury! It was a joy to march alongside @TOYDREW1 and to honor those who make Roxbury such a special place to live.

Yesterday we were thrilled to spend the day in community at the @Unityparade! Every year, Coalition community council member @TOYDREW1 organizes this incredible event to celebrate the neighborhood of Roxbury, and we're so glad we could walk in the parade again this year.

Last year, the @UnityParade introduced the inaugural Bill Russell Sportsman Award. We wanted to pay homage to the great athlete and even a greater human being who was Bill Russell. The recipient was Mike Bivins. Every year on Mike’s birthday, he has this huge neighborhood basketball tournament. Unfortunately, he had to fly out that morning and couldn’t make it to the parade as planned. Today, at the Michael L. Bivins Mother’s Day Brunch, I was able to present him with the award.

If 51% of America, or if you know someone who died by suicide, heart if it's a parent who died, retweet if your child died, follow if it's a sibling who died. My sister DeeDee died by suicide when she was 23. Join us in Boston on September 8, 2024.

If 51% of America donates $10.00 to DeeDee's Cry and families impacted by suicide, we could support families with burial costs. Donate: deedeescry.org Follow us.

In Boston, @DeeDeesCry brings the conversation of suicides in Black and Brown communities to the forefront. Normalizing the conversations of mental health challenges is suicide prevention. Suicide impacts us all. Donate: deedeescry.org #Boston #Massachusetts #BHM2024
