Hey Girlfriends!!  I’d like to welcome you to another informative issue of Girlfriends Health Guide for Women of Color.  I have only been in this role since January and I have been blessed to meet so many powerful women who have inspired me. Sitting down to interview them wasn’t like doing a regular interview.  It was more like talking to a girlfriend and it’s ironic, but that’s what this is all about!

Talking to women like our covergirl, Ms.Chrishirella Warthen, made me realize that growing older is something to look forward to!  These women are beautiful, intelligent, independent, and powerful!  Can we say: DIVA!!!  Being that I am now 27, I am quickly approaching 30 and I’ve realized that I’m not getting old, honey, I’m gettin’ better!!!

This issue of Girlfriends deals with the issue of mental health; something we all know a little bit about, right?  Now you know sistas, we’ve all had those moments where we go a little mental!  This issue will enlighten you on some of the different issues surrounding mental health, like depression, healthy relationships and dealing with the illnesses that sistas face.  So take this issue of Girlfriends Health Guide for Women of Color and embrace it, learn from it, and share it with your favorite girlfriend!
