I know, I know. You’re already working diligently on your long to-do list and taking steps to get you closer to your goals for 2018. I’m so excited for you! I’m actually doing the exact same thing. However, you must add one very important thing to your 2018 goals list, especially with the untimely suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. According to the US HHS Office of Minority Health, Adult black/African-Americans are 20 percent more likely to report serious psychological distress than adult whites. The thing I want you to add to your 2018 lists is therapy. Yes, you read that correctly, therapy. I know as the year churns on, we see and hear of so many people committing to these elaborate plans. At the beginning of the year, we attended vision board parties and left motivated to find the cure for cancer. We scroll through countless Instagram posts with awesome inspirational quotes, and pin them to our Pinterest boards. This is all extremely cool and commendable, however, have you stopped to think about if you have the mental fortitude to get the job done?
