Over time this can cause chronic stress, pain, high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system. This, alongside regular triggers in our everyday life, will manifest into a disconnection between our mind and body and create a constant feeling of dissociation from our emotions, with minimal control over how we feel.

PTSD, or Perseverance Through Severe Dysfunction, as Ford defines it, underlines the darkness of mental illnesses and behaviors that impact young Black men and have plagued Black Americans for generations. But his reassessment is not doom and gloom. Instead, Ford implores that we turn pain into peace. Ford uses his own traumatic experiences to inform his call to action.

Time to take care of your emotional health. Because you deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love.
