Chella Man on how art and chosen family helped him take on depression
Mental health continues to dominate the headlines, especially for the LGBTQ community, where rates of depression often exceed the national average, a problem compounded by the isolation of the Covid pandemic.
In July, BIPOC Mental Health Month promotes another layer of awareness to acknowledge the complexities that individuals with intersectional identities face.
Campaigns such as Depression Looks Like Me offer a platform for a diverse range of voices to be seen, heard, and empowered. Queerty spoke to the multi-talented artist, director, author and campaign partner, Chella Man, about his personal experience with depression.
As a Deaf, trans, Jewish, and Chinese-American public figure, Chella shared why he chose to join Depression Looks Like Me to tell his own story and how he hopes his transparency can help others. Hi Chella!
