yeah it’s actually quite important when a person who comes from a community similar to yours, looks like you, and is someone that many people look up to shares that it’s okay to be vulnerable and it doesn’t make you weak to seek help

no one is “making it about race,” they’re simply notating a fact that’s relevant to the situation
