Good Morning Nashville ☀️

Excited once again to be a part of you guys new week, as we wrap up the last day of mental health awareness month! It truly has been a month filled with events, conferences, and more as the city truly has embraced mental health in a many of ways. Let’s get into today’s episode.

We are presenting our third guest to you guys as we continue to debut our season/series titled “My Mental Matters In May”. Today’s special guest hopefully will continue to show our fans and supporters that yes, we primary advocate for black men, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t open to having anybody on the show that has a story to tell. With that … we present to some and introduce to others our good friend and sister, Ms. Skylar Brooke! ✌🏽

Skylar comes as the third guest on this months “My Mental Matters In May” Season, and talks to us on today’s show about how mental health and art, have a direct correlation to how she best handles her mental health. Skylar was born in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, right outside of Johnson City, and graduated from UT-Knoxville. Mom & dad both play an important role in who she is, so we talk about her background growing up and her transition into Nashville.

Skylar truly is a dope woman, and is currently working on a project aiming to give back to artists that have dealt with mental health issues and drug addictions by way of opening up her own home to create opportunities for artists by way of creating an at-home art gallery. She talks about how most artists often times get taken advantage of, and she wants to provide them with resources that help build a foundation to continue their creativity. Skylar enjoys making custom pieces as well, because it allows her to give her clients a one-of-one project that shows them how powerful they can be if they tap into those vulnerable muscles. Man, today’s episode is a good one! Don’t miss it! ✌🏽
