"PTSD in the Black community doesn’t always come from war—it comes from living in fight-or-flight for decades. From systemic racism. From raising children while healing from your own childhood. From watching sons die in headlines and daughters shrink in a world that doesn’t see their softness. And from generations of silence around mental health." - Robert J. Holmes
