One of my most cherished experiences at Hampton has been serving as the Advisor for the Peer Counselors Organization, a peer-based mental health organization offering programming, training, service, and spaces for connection for students on campus. 💚💙

Some of these student leaders are mental health advocates passionate about eradicating the stigma of mental health within BIPOC communities and some are interested in serving in the field as professionals!

Under the support of the Student Counseling Center, the Peer Counselors partner with the SheCare Wellness Pods and the clinicians of the Counseling Center to support and empower their peers to anchor their wellness and seek professional assistance when needed.

I have truly been honored and blessed by these young, brilliant humans. So proud to have served as their advisor 🥹💚

Btw- Peer Counselors Organization Week is happening THIS WEEK! Check out their page @hu.peercounselors to see all that they do and swipe to the end to support their efforts 😉🙏🏽 by @j.bconscious

Five years ago, I walked through these doors not knowing just how much this place would become a part of my journey. Reflecting on the transition, I say goodbye with a heart full of gratitude, pride, and so many memories that I will carry with me into this new season.

For five years, I’ve had the privilege of helping young minds heal, grow, and find their voices. Through the good and indifferent, I’ve witnessed resilience, celebrated breakthroughs, and learned more from the students and professionals I’ve had the honor of supporting than I could ever put into words. This work has shaped me in ways I’ll always cherish.

But beyond the work itself, what I’ll treasure are the friendships, the laughter, the hard days we got through together, the little moments in between, and the community we built along the way. I’m incredibly grateful for every person who made this chapter so meaningful.

Thank you for the memories, the lessons, the friendships, and the opportunity to be part of something that truly mattered. I’ll forever be grateful for the time I spent at Hampton University and for the people who made it feel like more than just a place to work. 💙💚

Here’s to new beginnings, carrying the lessons forward, and leaving a little bit of light behind wherever we go. ✨ by @j.bconscious

Who said learning has to happen in a classroom? 👀

Such a great time facilitating this interactive mental health workshop where students moved, laughed, collaborated, and challenged themselves while building real-life skills. 💥

From teamwork 🤝 and resilience 💪 to positive self-talk 🧠, mindfulness 🌱, and knowing when to ask for help, every activity was designed to make these conversations meaningful, memorable, and fun.

Because the best learning happens when students are engaged, connected, and empowered ✨The basketball themed activities were a big hit! 🏀

Here’s to building confident, resilient young people one experience at a time! 🏀 by @j.bconscious

Here are some of the biggest lessons I got from this year’s Surviving Through Mental Health:

💚 Sometimes our behaviors are shaped by patterns of survival and not patterns of healing.

💚 Working in a helping profession doesn’t make us immune to life’s challenges. We can spend our days supporting, encouraging, and guiding others while quietly struggling ourselves. And sometimes, we miss the signs.

💚 There’s a unique kind of vulnerability in realizing you know how to help others, but you’re having a hard time helping yourself. It can feel uncomfortable, even embarrassing. But that doesn’t make you less capable. It makes you human.

💚 Asking for help isn’t a weakness; it’s a necessary part of growth. Sometimes what we need most is a reset. We need a chance to pause, shift our perspective, and replace the negative narratives with ones rooted in hope, grace, and possibility.

💚 Growth rarely happens in our comfort zone. It happens when we’re willing to be vulnerable, learn from others, and pivot when needed.

🔥💯 The people who support others deserve support, too. Healing isn’t something we only encourage in others; it’s something we deserve ourselves.

Whew, I pray to see you there next year! 🙏🏽💚

Last week I was presented with the “Most Valuable Player” distinction in my department at our Division of Student Affairs End of Smester Victory Lap celebration. Such a bittersweet moment!

It’s been about five incredible years at the Hampton University Student Counseling Center. Being part of a team that has contributed to such impactful change on campus for students has been a true honor! 💚

Cheers to this victory lap 🥳 A fitting theme to begin my transition to the next step in my professional career. More to come! by @j.bconscious

Want to know how to make a difference with low effort. One post. One share.

Mental health fairs and community wellness events create opportunities for people to connect with local resources, providers, advocates, and support systems they may not have known existed. That’s why it’s so important to share these events, show up, and support them however we can.

Community care starts with community connection. 💚 Thanks to the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board for hosting such an amazing Mental Health Expo!

Here’s my commitment to share these events in the future as I become aware! Be the change! by @j.bconscious

Two half marathons. One month apart. And somehow, both races became about so much more than running. 🏃🏽‍♀️🧠💚

They became about consistency when life felt overwhelming. About balancing work, womanhood, responsibilities, and the discomfort of building new habits while still showing up for myself anyway. 😤

Both times, I battled “stinking thinking”. The doubt and fear trying to convince me I couldn’t do it. But both times, I had to make a choice: believe in everything I can do, or surrender to everything I think I cannot. 👀

And each time, I performed better than the last. Glory to God 🙏🏽

That’s the beauty of this journey. Running has taught me that growth doesn’t happen because things get easier - it happens because you decide to keep going despite the resistance. ❤️‍🔥

It’s become a reminder that mental wellness is not perfection; it’s choosing hope, discipline, and belief in yourself over and over again. 👏🏽💚

Through every mile, I’m learning that the strongest thing I can do is trust myself enough to keep moving forward. 💚🏃🏽‍♀️✨
