Bird's Eye View is a concept that supports Black minds on their journey of self-discovery. In a literal sense, the bird's eye view is a state of seeing things from a higher perspective. Within Black communities, mental health has been deemed taboo for generations and has seemingly been unacknowledged for far too long. With that being said, Bird's Eye View intends on promoting Black mental health and wellness by connecting the “Black experience” to self-discovery. The overall goal is to connect oneself to their highest state of being.
From the well-known saying, "Birds of a feather flock together", this is a collaborative guest blog series with other like-minded, Black intellectuals on their self-discovery journey. With this series, you all will get the perspective of multitudes of young Black mxn and womxn in order to provide a safe space for conversations regarding mental health.
This series is dedicated to the many-colored ribbons associated with mental health awareness. This title has two different meanings. First meaning: the stigma about mental health causes us as a people to look over it. Second meaning: we use our wings to overcome our trials and tribulations associated with mental health. Let's bring awareness and overcome our battles!
A Spotify playlist with all my favorite vibe songs I listen to while writing. Music has always been on outlet of mine and inspiration behind a lot of my blog entries. Feel free to enjoy this playlist while on your journey!
Hey everybody, my name is Cheyenne! I recently graduated with my bachelor's in Psychology and I am now a second-year graduate student pursuing my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Bird's Eye View is something that I came up with in order to uplift the Black community through mental wellness. Mental health has been deemed taboo within Black households for generations and has seemingly been unacknowledged for far too long. With that being that, I intend on promoting Black mental health and wellness through this blog by connecting Black Consciousness to self-discovery. Let's fly together on this journey of life!
