Show Notes

Young people, especially young girls of color, continue to struggle with mental health issues even six years after the pandemic. Access to services and support is spotty, and many tweens and teens feel isolated and unseen. My guest today, 14-year-old Mila, understood this struggle and wanted to help girls in her community access resources. She started MH Boxes, delivers care packages, made by Black girls, for Black girls, packed with journals, fidgets, affirmations, and other tools to support them through tough days. These boxes are small reminders that each girl who receives one matters, that she is worthy, and that she belongs.
