Mental illness in children- a chat with Shyla Garcia

Melanated Mom

Mental illness is real and black children are suffering from it. Who was raised in a home where you were told what happens in our home stays in our home? Our parents were trying to protect us and protect their space but I think hearing things like that said can cause a child to stuff and mass a lot of what needs to be talked about. I am not a mental health expert but I know what pain looks like from not speaking your truth. Today, Shyla is sharing her story of how she dealt with mental illness in her home and was still able to keep her sanity in the process. This interview is truly transparent. Shyla continues to encourages children and adults. She has a book entitled Brite Saves the Day where she tells children it is ok to be different. Her book can be found in Barnes and Noble. She also has a radio show called Listen Up where her guest talk about the how life’s lesson have blessed them.
