2 Chainz Raises Awareness for PTSD in The Black Community

Following personal experience and seeing the lingering effects it has on people and himself, 2 Chainz raises Awareness for PTSD. He went on to mention through an Instagram post that black men from the streets deal with PTSD. Black men face a hard reality, whether gang violence, dealing with drugs and police brutality. With no guidance on how to deal with the struggles, it becomes hard to handle.

With this being on the discussion table, we hope to see even more action being taken on this growing issue. As 2 Chainz raises awareness, we look forward to seeing an insight into his experience to allow others to connect on another level.

In July of last year, G Herbo contributed to raising awareness for PTSD by providing black youth therapy. Royce Da 5’9 in October 2020, was working to establish a foundation in Detroit to spread metal awareness to the community. With the help of influential artists acknowledging mental health, it can be more than beneficial in the long term.

The issue here is that the black community sees mental health as taboo, and a therapist is a big nono because, supposedly, it’s a waste of time and money. Seeing as 2020 brought many deaths, whether from covid or gang violence, our mental health continues to be hindered. The time is now to take action on what is affecting us through the dark.
