We need to begin to recognise these consciously manipulative attempts to make a problem a figment of one's imagination, rather than the insidious and harsh reality that it is.
This seriously impacts mental health.
Time to name it, confront it, dispel it and address all the isms, abuse and injustices.

Anyone who promotes change & justice for the good of others / humankind deserves to have their voice heard & valued.
They should not be silenced, ignored, dismissed due to the colour of their skin, #race #ethnicity, #religion, or any other factor of #Diversity.
Suppression does absolutely nothing to build trusting, loyal, committed, healthy & safe cultures.
Infact, this harms progress, #MentalHealth & #Wellbeing.

#MeghanMarkle has been subjected to an onslaught of criticism & racist media attack, which no woman should ever have to face. Make no mistake Clarkson’s vile & harmful fantasises & rhetoric fuel abuse & violence towards all #women. Do not underestimate / play down how the impact of such attacks on #MentalHealth are devastating & can be fatal.
The dehumanisation of #BlackWomen & the #BlackDiaspora must end.
The hate, abuse, violence & exploitation of women must stop.
A #family & the world has lost a treasure Stephen #tWitch Boss RIP
Men, particularly Black #men are confronted with severe adversity. They're conditioned to be strong. Their natural feelings & #MentalHealth issues are hidden & suppressed in living up to unrealistic #expectations
We need healthy, #inclusive & #equitable MH for all men from diverse backgrounds & #intersectionality
#Listen, invest in, check in, #value, #respect, be there, , show you #care & provide info & #access to #support
Always remind yourself that people who don't respect you, exploit you & discard your feelings, along with your physical & mental health do not deserve & have not earned your time, energy or devotion.
Protect your mental health & spread the word.

Unfortunately, using social media has made many journalists super lazy. They use Twitter as a sort of public barometer, when in fact, it only represents a small slice of the public sphere and a skewed one at that. What public engagement there is goes on between elites and those they deem at their stature or above-status climbing. This behavior replicates real world hierarchies of haves and have nots.

The reality is we're not dealing adequately with everyone's mental health & wellbeing if we aren't also dealing adequately with the harmful issues related to the status of their #diversity, #equity & #inclusion.
This means acknowledging & addresssing the detrimental impact, on #mentalhealth of the isms, abuse, hate & #inequity towards women, Black & Brown, mixed heritage, indigenous people, #LGBTQ+, #Neurodiverse, people with #Disabilities #OlderPeople & others from diverse backgrounds.
