| 0:09.3 | Brown Girl Self Care is a platform and space of intentional healing, rest and joy for black women. |
| 0:17.0 | Let's go ahead and get into today's conversation and I want to talk about depression. I want to talk about depression. |
| 0:23.0 | I want to talk about depression today, |
| 0:25.0 | because obviously this is a pressing, |
| 0:28.0 | I don't want to say experience, |
| 0:31.0 | a pressing issue, not not experience within our community but |
