Transforming Lives: The Journey of LoveYourselfSis
Sis who are you?
Hey girl hey! Before we dive in, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Myresha Hinton and I am a temp licensed clinical psychologist. My work background consists of children and families within the African American community. However, over the last few years, I have grown a passion for working with Black women to understand the importance of mental health and self-care. So many times we try to be the “Beyonce” and strive to have it ALL TOGETHER but what does that often lead to? Stress, depression, anxiety, I could go on and on and on. My goal with my job is to try to create a space where we don’t have to be the “Beyonce”, we can be the “Latavia” and guess what? THAT IS OKAY! All that means is that sometimes our good enough is the best and we have to give ourselves that grace. Do I have all the answers? Absolutely not. Do I have my own mental health struggles? Absolutely yes, I’m human. But my hope is that with these monthly articles, you find a sense of peace and comfortability, and you grow to learn more about yourself. LoveYourselfSis is more than just a community - it's a movement that empowers African American women to prioritize their mental health and well-being. But before we dive into the origins of LoveYourselfSis and how it all began.
The Origins of LoveYourselfSis
LoveYourselfSis was born out of a desire to create a safe space for African American women to connect, share their stories, and support one another. It all started with my work as a psychologist where I noticed a lack of resources and representation for mental health within their community. I saw a need for change and decided to take action, forming LoveYourselfSis as a platform to uplift and empower women who may have felt overlooked or marginalized. This grassroots movement quickly gained momentum, attracting women from all walks of life who were seeking a sense of belonging and understanding. Through the power of community and shared experiences, LoveYourselfSis is striving to make a difference in the lives of countless women, one uplifting message at a time.
