Season 3, Episode 28: Self Love, Care and Mental Health

We are back! It is May, and it is Mental Health Awareness Month! Yaki, our resident licenced psychologist, talks about self-care and how to prioritize (and protect) your mental health. Because in the words of RuPaul: If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love somebody else? 

NOTE: If you are thinking about harming yourself or attempting suicide, tell someone who can help right away or dial 911 in an emergency. You also can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1‑800‑273‑TALK (8255), or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All calls are confidential.

In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk about Shaunie O'neal's wedding, LBGT advocate and Bridgeton star Gold Rousheval, Giselle Bryant dating rumors, Kevin Samuel's death, and, uh, Tony Nominee Jesse Williams' "nude" scene leaking on social media. (Listen, we don't condone leaking nudes, but Jesse has NOTHING to be ashamed of! Hello!)

In Watching Romance, we talk Bling Empire (Netflix 5/13), the return of RHOA (Bravo) and Real Housewives of Lagos, Blood Sisters (Netflix 5/10), This is Us (NBC), and Revenge Best Served Chilled (Lifetime 5/14)

In Reading Romance, we highlight Kilby Blades's BWWM Italian set romance "It Takes a Villa" and in line with our theme, in Listening to Romance, we hype up the calming tunes of Kehlani's new album, Blue Water Road.
