What does Mental Health mean to you?
How has the current Mental Healthcare system affected you?
What are some resources you find helpful when struggling?
These are some of the few questions I pondered when creating this website; I’m inviting you to express yourselves to alleviate some of your mental health struggles.

Weary
My name is Miracle Matthews; I’m a Senior at Rutgers University and a Scholar in the Leadership Scholars Program at the Institute for Women’s Leadership. My Social Action Project, Weary, based on Solange Knowles’s song, was created to showcase the daily struggles Black women face and raise awareness for Black Women’s Mental Health. There are many stigmas surrounding mental health in the Black community; many Black women believe they have to be strong in the face of struggles. With this website, I am reaching out a hand to every Black woman who feels like it’s too much; I am making sure your voices are heard. With Weary, I want to raise awareness and give Black women the necessary resources to seek help/treatment and to no longer feel like they have to struggle alone.
