This morning, Mae walked on behalf of The Leadership Studio and Grace & Glory Yoga at the Out of the Darkness Walk by the American Federation for Su***de Prevention.
The experience was not heavy and somber like you may expect; rather, it was uplifting, cheerful, and hopeful. Everyone gathered at the walk this morning was there for the same reason: because each of us had been affected by su***de in some way and desire to break the stigma associated with it. We walked to release guilt, to move from a place of gratitude, and to envision a hopeful future for those who have struggled with mental health and their family members.
The Leadership Studio exists as a safe space for you if you are processing any kind of grief or experiencing mental health-related issues yourself. Know that our doors are open for you, exactly as you are. The act of gathering with other human beings like we did today is powerful, which is why we do so everyday at TLS.
