Escapism

African American women often fight through depression and anxiety on their own. But what happens when those feelings don't go away? In this Part 2 episode of Mental Illness and the African American Woman, we continue speaking with Valencia Lee. In overcoming escapism, Valencia realized that looking good on the outside is just as important as feeling good on the inside. She attributes her success to her faith, husband, and five children, who inspire her to be her best every day.
