DMX was such more than a gritty, intense rapper, but was one of the first famous men in the late 90's/2000's who openly talked about his mental health and struggles... Who freely showed VULNERABILITY and emotion. DMX never feared allowing the world to know that he struggled with his mental health and addiction. After many years of struggle, in his song 'The Rain' he let people know that he realized it was up to him to find happiness and freedom from internal pain (to stop 'th...e Rain'). I personally learned a lot from that song years ago. Being able to show, as 'tough' black male in an industry where you have to be a 'man,' emotion and vulnerability... While still gaining the respect of everyone in entertainment and millions around the world... He was truly ahead of his time. DMX was not afraid to show that he was a flawed man and human being who did his best to openly acknowledge his mistakes and take control of his mental health struggles. RIP to a true courageous legend. #dmx #x #ruffryders #vulnerable #vulnerability #emotion #nofear #courage #life #mentalhealth #addiction #faith #artist #legend

*Our city has been unfortunately made very upset by a small group who is choosing to not follow public health protocols. I want everyone to know that I always follow all public health protocols and I take that very seriously. I believe in science and being respectful of others' health and our community... Especially the vulnerable. I am here for any of you who are feeling highly anxious and stressed about our local situation. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any support for your mental health. I have your back.

Looking forward to be able to help more people very soon!! Long time coming.

When are we going to start recognizing and addressing another pandemic that has also worsened this past year? One that is JUST as important as the other. I am extremely disappointed in this government and their failure to not only address, but discuss this... Or factor it into their lockdown/restriction decisions. I know I don't want to see smart, fun, energetic and kind young people suffering and, at times, taking their own lives, anymore! They don't deserve this @fordnationdougford #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #help #healthcare #preventativehealth #care #society #school #psychology #counseling #counselling #therapy #ontario #dougford

I can't say it enough, getting outside is extremely important to our mental health. Even if you aren't a winter person (I've never been!), getting outside and doing something active/fun, even for 15 minutes can do so much for our mood! We overcomplicate things when we feel down at times and simple things like being active outside daily, for at least 15 minutes, can provide a good boost! #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #healthiswealth #active #fit #winter #canada #ontario #brant #brantford #parisontario #cold #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #psychology #fun #dogsofinstagram

I know that I have promoted Bell Let's Talk day many times in the past. And while it is not a perfect initiative, or company, I knew that it still promoted mental health awareness. That being said, I believe the recent layoffs, particularly of Dan O'Toole, were a slap in the face to all of those who find it difficult to manage their mental health on a daily basis. @bellmediapr @bell_letstalk can make all of the excuses they want about the layoffs, but they are hypocrites and ...chose an extremely poor time (barely weeks after the campaign) to do these layoffs. Dan O'Toole suffered his own, very public, mental health crisis and took a leave from the company just this past year... And who do they lay off, him. Extremely sad and disappointing. I am not a fan of media conglomerates and their practices, period and this crossed the line. I understand business needs to be 'business' at times, but to be this cutthroat is hypocrisy at its finest. I feel for Dan O'Toole and everyone else laid off @bellmediapr . Shame on Bell.

If you remember a post I made last spring about Britt who HAD been battling a significant stage of breast cancer... I'm very happy to let everyone know she is officially cancer free . Her interview (with myself) can be found on my business Facebook page. Not only did she continue to work (at her job) throughout her fight (including treatments!), but did it through a pandemic. If Britt can make it through what she has, you can make it through what remains of our situation with COVID! . Big congrats to Britt and I hope she can celebrate more very soon!
