014 - MentalMatters: A conversation with @DionnKatrina

Hey ya'll! Happy Homegirl Thursday! After some hella technical difficulties, I'm here! LOL I thought long and hard about the direction that I wanted to take with this podcast. I wanted to speak on topics that we all can relate to on varying levels, from curiosity to first-hand experience. Mental Health is something that has always been important to me. I have had my own issues with temper (which I will discuss a bit more in a later episode), but I think sometimes we as members of society do not acknowledging mental health because we simply may not know how to approach the subject in general due to lack of knowledge. I can speak from personal experience wanting to talk to a person who dealing with a mental issue but talked myself out of it because I was worried about offending them by asking. Luckily, there's a few member of the tribe that were willing to tell their story. This episode features @DionnKatrina.http://instagram.com/dionnkatrina I will do more of these "MentalMatters" episodes and I want to be very clear that this is not to pity anyone that I interview. The people that have volunteered to share their story with the world are some really awesome, talented, intelligent, loving and caring people. This is NOT for pity, this is for UNDERSTANDING. Dionn is a college graduate and works in the fast paced world of entertainment. If you follow me on social media, you will also see Dionn's list of affirmations every month. I admire her for her own brand of transparency. Through this approach Dionn educates you (without making you feel ignorant or stupid) on what you don't know about what it is like to deal with depression and anxiety. So with that being said, sit back, relax and let Dionn learn you a thing or too. ;-) P.S. There were a couple of issues in this recording. LOL You may hear a siren or two toward the end of our interview. I was so salty during playback but I do apologize in advance. As a certain Cash Money rapper would say "...The Block Was Hot".
