    BASIC BLAQUE AFTER DARK LIVE ON DA CREW PODCAST EVERY 1ST & 3RD FRIDAY 8PM EST.........
    Dec 6 2025
    You can catch the replay of the live show on black men’s health by “Blaque Diamond” on various podcast platforms, including iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, and Spotify. The show is part of the “Basic Blaque After Dark” segment on the Da Crew Podcast, which airs live every 1st and 3rd Friday at 8 PM EST.The specific episode you’re looking for likely focuses on mental and physical well-being, breaking silence in communities, and balancing faith, therapy, and community support.Based on discussions from the “Basic Blaque After Dark” podcast series on men’s mental health, the following steps and strategies were suggested for Black men to address their mental health:
    • Start with the “first step”: The emphasis is on taking any initial action rather than waiting for a perfect plan for healing, which is described as a non-linear journey.
    • Name your pain: Honesty about feelings and experiences accelerates the healing process.
    • Practice self-care: Engaging in healthy behaviors such as maintaining a healthy diet, getting adequate sleep, and regular exercise (like joining fitness groups such as Black Men Run) is a key step.
    • Explore creative outlets: Activities such as writing, music, visual art, or journaling can serve as a vital way to process emotions and externalize stress.
    • Build social connections: Connecting with friends, family, and peers helps reduce isolation and build a strong support system, which can include community group participation or joining support groups.
    • Talk to someone safe: This can be a friend, family member, or a professional in a safe, confidential environment.
    • Seek professional help: Sometimes self-care alone is not enough, and it is important to consider counseling or therapy without shame.
    • Deconstruct the “strong Black man” myth: Recognizing that it is okay to show vulnerability and that pain or issues should not be suppressed helps break the stigma surrounding mental health.
    • Balance faith, therapy, and community support: Utilizing a variety of resources available, including spiritual resources, can contribute to overall wellness.
    • Pay attention to the body: Physical manifestations of stress, such as tension in the jaw, stomach, and shoulders, are indicators that mental health needs attention.
    These steps encourage men to take proactive measures to support their mental wellness and help remove barriers that prevent them from seeking help.This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional. AI responses may include mistakes.

    VISIONARY QUEEN ANGELA SITTING IN FOR PROPHETESS T, GET WELL SOON............
    Dec 4 2025
    ENCOURAGING MESSAGE God sees every weight you carry—the worries that keep you up at night, the pain you try to hide, the dreams and fears you hold inside. He cares more deeply than you can imagine. “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). You are never alone in your struggles. God invites you to bring your burdens to Him—not because He needs to know them (He already does), but because He desires relationship. Whatever is troubling you matters to Him, no matter how big or small it may seem. His love is compassionate and personal. When the load feels too heavy, remember God’s open invitation: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He wants to exchange your heaviness for His peace. Hold on to this: Your burdens move God’s heart. He cares, He listens, and He is working in ways unseen to help and strengthen you. You are precious to Him, right where you are. God’s care for you isn’t limited to responding when things go wrong—He is always working ahead, lovingly guiding your path and providing for your needs before you even realize them. Scripture promises that He goes before you, making a way and preparing blessings in advance (Deuteronomy 31:8). Trust that His hands are shaping your future and protecting you in ways you may not yet see. You are always under His watchful, caring eye, held securely in His faithful love. “Visionary Queen Angela” is the honorific and brand name for Mrs. Angela Thomas Smith, an entrepreneur, publisher, and dynamic speaker from South Carolina who operates her business from Georgia .

  • "HEALING VOICES, NAVIGATING THROUGH GRIEF"

    "HEALING VOICES, NAVIGATING THROUGH GRIEF"
    Dec 1 2025
    Grief is a personal and non-linear journey, and there is no single "right" way to heal. The well-known five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) are a framework for understanding common emotions, not a rigid checklist or a prescribed set of steps for healing.

    **************************************************************************************************************

    Normal grief
    Normal, or uncomplicated, grief is the typical response to loss that gradually decreases in intensity over time as a person adjusts to their new reality. It is a common experience that can include a wide range of emotions, such as sadness, anger, and numbness.
    • Examples: Grief following the death of a close friend or family member.

    Anticipatory grief
    This type of grief is experienced before an actual loss occurs, such as when a loved one receives a terminal diagnosis or has a prolonged illness. It can include feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, and a focus on the impending loss.
    • Examples: A person with a terminal illness preparing for their own death, or a family caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's who is psychologically absent.

    Complicated grief
    Also known as prolonged grief disorder, this occurs when the grieving process is intense, long-lasting (typically over a year), and significantly disrupts a person's daily life. It involves a persistent, heightened state of mourning that keeps the person from healing. Subtypes include:
    • Chronic grief: Ongoing and intense feelings of grief that do not subside over time.
    • Delayed grief: The conscious or unconscious suppression of grief, with symptoms emerging much later after the loss.
    • Exaggerated grief: An intense and overwhelming reaction to grief that may involve self-destructive behaviors, nightmares, or suicidal thoughts.
    • Masked grief: Grief where the individual is unaware that certain behaviors or physical symptoms are interfering with their daily life as a result of the loss.
    • Examples: A person unable to perform daily routines or isolate themselves from others years after a significant death.

    Disenfranchised grief
    This grief is not socially acknowledged, publicly mourned, or supported, often because the loss is not recognized or is stigmatized. This can make the grieving person feel isolated and invalidated.
    • Examples: Grief following the loss of a pet, a miscarriage, an ex-partner, or a death related to suicide or drug overdose.

    Ambiguous loss
    This is a grief without closure due to the lack of certainty about the loss. It can be divided into two main categories:
    • Physical absence with psychological presence: A person is physically gone, but their fate is unknown.
      • Examples: A missing person, a kidnapped child, or a soldier missing in action.
    • Physical presence with psychological absence: A person is physically present, but is emotionally or cognitively unavailable.
      • Examples: A loved one with advanced dementia, a severe brain injury, or addiction.

    Traumatic grief
    This form of grief follows a loss that occurs under horrific, violent, or unpredictable circumstances. The traumatic nature of the death is processed alongside the grief, and it can be accompanied by symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
    • Examples: A death from a car accident, a murder, a natural disaster, or an act of terrorism.

    Collective grief
    This is a shared sorrow experienced by a community, society, or even the world following a large-scale tragedy or disaster.
    • Examples: The grief experienced collectively after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic, or a school shooting.

    Other forms of grief
    • Absent grief: Showing no outward signs of grief, which might indicate shock or deep denial.
    • Cumulative grief: Experiencing multiple losses in a short period, which can overwhelm a person's ability to cope.
    • Abbreviated grief: A relatively short and quickly resolved grief process, possibly because the loss was anticipated
