Learn to communicate and express your emotions... For us within the BIPOC community, we are not allowed to feel and that is a systemic problem that I hope changes as we talk more about mental health and the need for support for BIPOC and our mental health. Healing begins with you, and it is quite a journey as well, but it is worth it. You are worthy of so much.’ - Charlie A. Scott (Diné) (they/them/she/her).” FORGE logo.]
