In this deeply personal episode of Table for Us, I open up about depression — what it looks like, what it doesn’t look like, and how it has shown up in my own life.

From postpartum depression to grief after losing my grandmother and father… from heartbreak to isolation… from throwing myself into work to masking pain with strength — I share how depression isn’t always obvious. It doesn’t always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like anger. Sometimes it looks like isolation. Sometimes it looks like being “the strong one.”

We also talk about:

Depression in the Black community

Grief and survivor’s remorse

Generational mental health patterns

Therapy and why it matters

Faith and leaning on God when life feels unbearable

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else… this episode is for you.
