This month, I'm leading 30 days of Wealth & Wellness for our Black Woman CEO Community.   Did you know women are experiencing higher mortality and morbidity rates due to a collection of factors researchers are calling “deaths of despair"?  This spike in mortality rates is associated with particular behaviors: abuse of drugs and inadequate attention to mental health conditions.   In this episode, I share how this unique phenomenon shows up for us as Black women entrepreneurs. Also, I provide 3 effective approaches to tend to your mental wellness.   SAVE THE DATE: Join us on April 24th at 7:00pm EST for Wealth & Wellness Community Conversation "CEO Wellness Solutions" with Leslie Garcia, LCSW- Founder of Counseling Space.  https://www.facebook.com/QuanishaSpeaks/   Resources mentioned in today's episode:  Black Woman CEO-The AYA Network: http://www.blackwomanceo.com/yesaya The Black Woman CEO Circle Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BlackWomanCEO Breaking the Silence: Kate Spade isn’t the only one by Black Woman CEO Founder/CEO Quanisha Green, MSS:https://medium.com/@quanishamgreen/breakingthesilence-6fd8f04a032d Therapy for Black Girls: https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com Black Woman CEO: www.BlackWomanCEO.com
