As survivors of the illegal slave trade that has plagued the authentic melanin Indians, aka African Americans aka survivor children of maroons. There is a silent disease that millions are dealing with and often wrongly diagnosed as bipolar disorder but in fact it is an advanced stage of PTSD known as CPTSD. 

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) is a psychological condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced prolonged and repeated trauma, such as abuse or neglect. Police abuse, toxic relationship, abuse amongst loved ones caused by alcohol abuse and various other effects is the primary feeding ground for CPTSD in our community.

This requires addressing issues such as systemic oppression, inequality, poverty, violence, and discrimination that can contribute to trauma and mental health issues. It also involves providing access to affordable and quality healthcare, education, housing, and employment opportunities.
