Bi-Polar affects over 2 million people in the United States. It is a stigmatized mental illness that cripples individuals simply on its namesake. Through education and self-determination, an individual can live a productive, compatible life with the illness. My testimony confirms this. It will encourage readers who are suffering from depression, oppression, and fear to not succumb to a life of pain. My story will encourage families and friends to approach the sufferer of a mental illness from a new angle. That is an angle of support and encouragement and not disrespect, stereo-typing, and stigmatizing.
This Collection will be targeted to mainstream America, but especially focusing on the African-American race group. I will be promoting this Collection to organizations specializing in mental wellness such as the National Association of Mental Illness, mental health support groups and organizations, empowerment workshop opportunities, Church groups and associations, organizations that seek to help women in oppressing abusive relationships (i.e., domestic violence), organizations primarily focused on substance users and abusers, and general genres (i.e., Christians, Poetry, Health & Mental Health, Non-Fiction) to name a few.
"Briefly, I am currently an advocate, part-time teacher, and author. These accomplishments come in the aftermath of being diagnosed with Bi-Polar and being told by doctors that my diagnosis was so severe, that I should be institutionalized for the remainder of my life. However, when God gave me a vision for His purpose for me, I asked for the wisdom to realize that vision. When God turned that diagnosis around for me, I knew I would never, ever stop praising Him!"
