Well I was feeling so excited about my Monday, finally feeling like the curse was lifted off me. It wasn’t, my baby cousin was murdered tonight and there is no suspect in sight. He was only 17 years old, the same age I told my son he couldn’t hang out. The same age, he was mad about cause I wouldn’t let him dance and sing out. The age of innocence, and laughter. Now, all ย I can do is imagine him on the slab cold and lonely. God makes no mistakes, but what about him? Why so early? why do I have to go through something again??????
Welcome, My name is Olivia Shepherd, and I am the founder of this awesome blog about depression and mental illness. I started this blog in 2016 after being diagnosed with Major Depression, Anxiety and PTSD. I didn't have anybody to talk too or share my feelings with, so I decided to share them publicly to help others.
I'm passionate and dedicated to bringing awareness about mental health, especially in the African American community.
I also want to empower your voice to speak up and fight the stigma surrounding this illness.
Iโm also the founder of AshesToBeauty Mentoring & Outreach, a virtual online service dedicated to to the positive development and accelerated recovery of girls and women who have experienced abuse and depression, Ashes To Beauty strives to empower women to take their lives back by providing life skill education, one-on-one mentorship and impactful personal tools by which these impacted women can build the foundation for a successful future.
Look forward to having you read my blog,
