What we now know is that South Africa is one of the very few standing countries that continues to support the LGBTQ+ community providing protection from violence laws. Sappho also is the Program Director of the Michael Hinson Resource Center located in Philadelphia.

What does mental health mean to you? What keeps you going?

This month is mental health awareness for the BIPOC community. As a woman formerly incarcerated, recovering from a 30 active addiction and a survivor of complex trauma; my life supersedes the statistics. Today, I work to build a safe space for others to live and to heal. I am an initiated Yoruba Priestess and I walk in my purpose -giving back to a world I spent many years trying to destroy. I am a mother of two amazing young women, five beautiful grandchildren and a very large and diverse community that loves and respects me. I work intentionally to create a safe space for others to heal as what I have learned is that addressing mental health concerns is uncomfortable for many BIPOC folks and we must continue to do the work collectively, and intentionally.
