As this episode went live, it was National Stress Awareness Day two days ago. It has been a difficult time for everyone and managing our stress is vital to our mental wellbeing. Mental health is a public health issue and it is pretty surprising that there is still a social stigma associated with it.
Wilma Mae Basta, co-founder of DRK Beauty, is on a mission to change this. DRK Beauty is a digital content and community platform that provides space to celebrate women of color. It is a home for women of color to explore all things beauty and a platform that helps them thrive as well as create long-lasting relationship with brands. As a result, DRK Beauty empowers people to build their own life-wellness journey and allows them to discover what this looks like.
Wilma Mae and her co-founder, Danielle Jackson, also created DRK Beauty Healing, which provides 10,000 hours of free therapy, and strives to continue to give mental resources for women of color.
