This week on Start Somewhere I had the pleasure of speaking to my wonderful friend Wilma Mae Basta, founder of DRK Beauty, about mental health, identity, and empowerment. I’ve known Wilma Mae for many years and each time I speak to her I come away humbled and in deep awe of her passion & determination.
In this episode, Wilma Mae takes us on her incredible personal journey, detailing how she started somewhere and found her purpose after going through a mental health crisis. Determined to unmute the shame surrounding mental health, especially in the black community, she founded DRK Beauty, a well-being and mental health platform that helps womxn of colour to discover and craft their own well-being story.
In this episode we speak about the power of vulnerability, how DRK Beauty helped black Americans cope with the trauma of witnessing the murder of George Floyd and its aftermath, and how drowning out the doubt and listening to her higher self has made her the courageous and extraordinary person she is today.
The ask: Learn how to be still and quiet the chatter in your mind in order to be more in tune with your highest self.
