Black athletes should not attend institutions in states that have introduced or enacted anti-DEI & voter suppression laws. If they aren’t invested in your lived experiences as Black ppl they do not deserve the $ & recognition generated from your labor. nbcnews.com/data-graphics/…
Nearly 153,000 people woke up to life-changing news this morning: their student loan balance is now $0, thanks to the SAVE Plan. The Biden-Harris administration has delivered student debt relief to almost 4 million Americans. And more help is on the way. npr.org/2024/02/21/123…

Jimmy Kimmel gets choked up talking to Regina King in one of her first interviews since her son committed suicide
As always, @LAPhilip lifts up student experiences in higher ed in beautifully humanizing ways. This is a must listen!
Reporting this story was heartbreaking but also uplifting, which may be surprising. But here's why: 🧵 wbez.org/stories/gettin…
A decade-plus later, I've gotten the help I need. More importantly, students like Isabelle, and the adults who work with them like Alyson, make me hopeful about the future because they see mental health care as something everyone needs & has a right to. And they're speaking up.
I waited a while for a walk-in appointment and ended up seeing the director. She told me how sad my situation was...and after about 30 minutes told me we were done. I didn't know what to expect, but that wasn't it. I left feeling more alone than I did when I walked in.
Which brings me to my own experience with campus counseling. It was my first semester back after Chris died, and I was a mess. I was having panic attacks and just didn't know how to be with other people my age enjoying their lives and youth.
All that changed when my younger brother died. I hate that that's what it took for us to recognize we needed help. But seeing my mom seek therapy - despite really old-school stigmas in our community about that - made me realize it was okay to not be okay.
I don't fault my parents. They immigrated in their 20s to a cold and strange place and were under tremendous pressure to make their lives here work both for themselves and their kids. There wasn't time or the knowhow or awareness to care for mental wellbeing.
Growing up, my family didn't even seem to have a language for talking about our mental health. Not to mention there was the expectation to be the "model minority": If you don't feel great, you're probably not working hard enough.
I, personally, think about what it would have been like to hear my peers or the older adults in my life talk about things like depression and anxiety when I was in college. I may have figured out I was battling these things a lot earlier on then I did.
When I was in college *ahem* years ago, my friends and I NEVER discussed our mental health. I don't know that I talked about it with others until I was well into my 30s. Isabelle, on the other hand, just entered her 20s and is not only aware of her own mental health needs ...
