New Series Alert: “Check Up from The Neck Up” — Because Mental Health IS Health!

Black Vanguard Media is excited to kick off a brand-new series that’s about to change how we think, talk, and act when it comes to our mental health.

Welcome to “Check Up from The Neck Up” — a fresh, culturally grounded, and unapologetically real conversation about mental wellness in the Black and Brown community.

Here’s the truth: Too many of us have been taught to see mental health struggles as a moral issue — something to hide, pray away, or “tough out.” But the science tells a different story. Many of the behaviors we label as “bad decisions,” “attitude problems,” or “laziness” are really medical conditions — chemical imbalances, trauma responses, and treatable health issues that deserve care, not judgment.

This series flips the script. We’re here to remind you that mental illness isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a matter of wellness. And just like you wouldn’t ignore high blood pressure or skip a mammogram, it’s time to normalize getting that Check Up from The Neck Up.

Expect short, powerful videos, real conversations, and content that makes you say, “Wait… that’s me!”

So stay tuned. Follow us. Share it. And remember — caring for your mind isn’t just self-care… It’s community care.
