Mind Ya Busi-ness: Are You Okay?

By Latonya Bynum

This book is a public health worker survival guide to sweeping around your own front door before even thinking about or attempting to help others who seem like they need your help more than you need to help yourself. In 2017, after 36 years of living a life suffering in silence. LaTonya decided to tell the truth by simply saying out loud "I'm not happy and I feel like I'm dying slowly yet no one sees me". By unpacking years of trauma, hurt, pain and depression, LaTonya decided to stop suffering in silence. She told her shameful truth first to an nonjudgemental friend, then her mom and shared her truths daily on social media in order to further heal herself and connect with others suffering in silence. Her growth and transparency has lead to many opportunities in both her personal and professional life. The hardest part was simply "minding her own busi-ness". Her nonjudgemental friend simply asked "Are you okay?" This bond between the two has ignited creativity in solving personal and professional problems rooted in shame and low self confidence.
