She openly discusses leveraging her personal experiences to assist others facing similar mental health struggles, both in her life and through her acting. “I don't care what character that I'm dealing with, they have a cross that they have to bear, which is affecting their mental health,” Henson says. “Me becoming an advocate for mental health has changed the way I look and approach my work.” The actress stressed that people should feel empowered to start their “journey to healing.”
"You Can Be a Good Friend (No Matter What!)," authored by the acclaimed actress and mental health advocate Taraji P. Henson, illustrates to children the positive outcomes of treating others and themselves with empathy, patience, and love. This book encourages children to confront bullying, fosters mental wellness, and enhances social skills. It is published by Zonderkidz, a division of HarperCollins.

Whether you're doing the Jarabe Tapatío to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this month or just dancing to your favorite tune, dancing offers so many benefits for our mental health. Dancing improves your mood, brain function by sharpening cognitive skills and psychological coping. When you're on the dance floor, you're not ruminating or worrying. Learning dance steps improves memory. Movement boosts physical fitness, heart health and reduces pain perception. Dancing releases endorphins which promote a sense of well-being and reduce anxiety. So what are you waiting for pump up that volume and get to stepping!
Whether listening to music, singing or music therapy, music has the ability to reduce stress, improve sleep and uplift your overall mood. It can be a positive distraction during tough or dark times. Music triggers the release of dopamine (the feel-good chemical and oxytocin (the love hormone" while decreasing cortisol (the stress hormone.)
Interestingly, despite music’s positive effects, professional musicians may be at higher risk for mental health disorders. The challenges of the profession, both physical and psychological, contribute to this paradox.
We are featuring the classic "Be Happy" official video by Bobby McFerrin. Released in 1988, as the first single from his album Simple Pleasures (1988). It was the first a cappella song to reach number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position it held for two weeks. The song’s lyrics were inspired by a famous quote from Meher Baba, an Indian spiritual master. McFerrin wrote both the melody and lyrics for “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” in just ten minutes. Be sure to take a listen, its sure to lift you right up no matter what your mood. Enjoy!

Fashion, like a multifaceted gem, reflects both language and poetry. Fashion transcends mere language; it’s poetry in motion. Whether draped in prose or adorned with rhymes, fashion whispers stories, paints emotions, and dances to its own rhythm—a language, a poetry, forever entwined. To best exhibit how: the vocabulary of Valentino is reinterpreted through the lens of poetry for the Fall 2019. Placed on every seat was a book of poetry called Valentino ON LOVE, a compilation of works by Greta Bellamacina, Mustafa the Poet, Yrsa Daley-Ward and Montgomery. Have a look above.
