To understand how COVID-19 is affecting the mental health of Black America, maybe this will jog your memory.
The only topic anyone is talking about is related to COVID-19 deaths, police shooting Black Americans, and crippling financial news that directly impacts minorities.
Despite the threat of COVID-19, violence towards Black people and the need for law enforcement reform still remains, as Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd join an increasingly long list of injustices committed to members of Black America.
Along with violence triggering trauma, Black children are just as vulnerable to mental and social harm from being home more and around their friends less.
Many may think COVID-19, the economy, and black people dying to police are problematic in Black America, however it’s those things that are slowly causing more harm mentally.
