Thanks for not posting the like and further propagating that foolishness! You are admirable!

Actually, just before her death Ms. Bebe Moore Campbell did an interview stating that her daughter indeed was fighting with mental illness. I can’t remember if it was Essence or Ebony. But I clearly remember when these scandalous pictures/stories first arose about her daughter which is around the time her mother’s illness was basically killing her and Ms. Moore was “forced” to bare her family struggles to the public.

At least you took the time to check. Whether we want to admit it or not, the black community is rift with mental illness, from bipolar, schizophrenia, manic depression to depression (mild & severe). All we do is sit around and talk about each others crazy erratic behavior without asking some serious questions about its possible cause.

Okay time to step off my soap box….:O)

Thanks for doing this follow up. I posted yesterday stating that I had heard of her mental illness. I really pray that someone close to her tries to help. We as a community should not give up on her & really pray for her as everyone states they will. Intercession prayer is just as powerful as if you pray for yourself. Let’s all rally around this young lady & touch & agree for her deliverance of this illness. It hurts my heart and I don’t even know her.

I really feel sorry for what she went through. I know how hard it can be for a person who is self medicating. While I was reading, it brought tears to my eyes. I hope she gets the proper support system in place. Maia, stay strong and put God first. All my love and support goes to you. SCT
