Could your mental health be rooted in your gut? In this episode of Villified: Our Story, Janae uncovers the fascinating connection between the trillions of microorganisms in your digestive system and your brain.

In this episode of Villified—Our Story, we take a closer look at the unique mental health challenges faced by marginalized communities, from financial and systemic barriers to social and cultural stigma. We’ll explore how systemic inequities impact access to mental health care for communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and low-income populations. Alongside the obstacles, we’ll also celebrate the resilience, support systems, and community-based solutions that help foster healing and connection. Join us as we navigate the intersections of identity, access, and advocacy, and uncover ways to build a more inclusive, understanding world for mental health.
