Hi!

My name is Charmaine Perry and I would like to Welcome You to the Gray Matthews Project blog!

The Gray Matthews Project is a blog that focuses on mental health issues within the Black community, especially among Black women.

Working as a mental health therapist, it saddened me to see so many African Americans unwilling to receive and accept mental health assistance because of subconscious fears, misconceptions, and ignorance.

So, I created this blog to educate and empower readers through providing helpful information about the process of therapy, self-exploration, healthy mental health practices, and building self-esteem so that readers can improve and build lives that they want to live.

The blog will also discuss the relationship between religion and mental health since this is a major area of conflict within the Black community
