With the increased awareness of the #MeTooMovement all the way down to R&B singer, Michelle Williams discussing her battle with depression, the topic of sexual abuse and depression is a narrative that is not going away anytime soon.
.
.
It’s very important to discuss these critical topics to not only bring awareness, but also attainable actions that are being done by celebrities and millions of women across the globe.

@pretty_sociable recently had the chance to sit down again with the multi talented @ainabreiyon to get her perspectives on the narratives that are being discussed with many women, especially women in Hip Hop.

Poetry Corner: Letters To A Young Brotha

By @huey_x92
.
.
This mind state is not your permanent place,
One day you'll rise above the rat race,
Face your fears move forward,
Stop living life eyes locked and concentrated in the rear.
.
.
Things are sometimes complicated, overwhelming and hard to digest and understand,
Just remain entrenched with belief,
Take a step back and breathe,
You have creator given ability.
.
.
You have to step up and be that man forced to grow without a father's helping hand,
Just a mother to hold, hug, kiss, love, and wipe your tears.
.
.
Don't be so weak you can't that in the face you can't admit defeat,
The strongest thing a man can do is cry and show vulnerability.

Chad Rico (@internationalchadrico) is a budding hip hop artist with a curriculum vitae of epic proportions. His new single release, "New Level," on his label Gold & Gems, is not just a repetitive song refrain but a bold declaration from a music artist who is also a college math professor, entrepreneurial clothing manufacturer/designer, filmmaker and world traveler! "New Level" the debut single from his upcoming EP, titled "Myth," is just the tip of a very deep iceberg from a young man who has been making mad, mythic moves since the age of three! .

Facts! 💯 Which is why we need to learn and know OUR history for ourselves. Knowledge is power 🔌
