“Stop telling young black women to pray their depression out. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. If she does not believe in God, it is perfectly fine. You do not have to believe in God to be a good person. Stop telling young African women to take all their problems to Jesus in prayer. It is perfectly fine to go see someone to talk to and that person does not have to be their pastor. Please, stop telling African women to pray the devil out of their lives when all they need is someone to understand how some days feel so heavy in their bones. It is okay to doubt the existence of a God, it is okay to not believe, it is okay to believe and it is perfectly fine to seek help when you need help. Stop telling women to bury their worries and act like everything is okay when they are dying inside. That is cruel and insensitive. Mental health is very important.” — Ijeoma Umebinyuo
