Talking with Ta'lor Pinkston about breaking the stigma of mental health in the black community


According to studies, one in five people in the U.S. struggle with a mental illness, but black Americans are 15-percent less likely to seek mental health treatment compared to white Americans. Ta’lor Pinkston, the founder of the Heart Advocate, joined us to talk about her journey of striking down this stigma.

  1. "Breaking stigmas" shouldn't be confused with normalizing. Many mental health conditions should be dealt with, if possible, in a way that enables people to be productive citizens. Delusional behaviors should not be indulged as 'alternative choices' and certainly shouldn't mean that others should placate their delusions. Our society needs to, even if it be a gradual process, get away from skin color distinctions. There is 1 race–the human race. Call me 'racist'–that tactic doesn't phase me one bit. My expectations/treatment is the same–kindness and candor.
