Darkness RISING Presents: BRAND NEW DAY! This year has not been at all what any of us expected. As the Black community deals with the ongoing pain of racism, as well as the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19, providing mental health support and resources becomes imperative. Using art to share resources has always been the mission of @darknessrisingproject, and we’re so grateful to launch our 2020/21 Music & Mental Health Campaign with Brand New Day! Spending time outdoors and moving your body is a great way to release endorphins, which helps to relieve stress. This is in no way a “quick fix” for depression and other mental health conditions, but this is a recommended, free tool which may offer some relief. We offer community-specific resources for mental wellness. Start your healing journey with our Black Mental Health Provider Database: darknessrisingproject.org Thank you to Collin for your vision and creative mind, Neville for the incredible editing, and Ramone for the many late nights doing choreo vía FaceTime. Thank you all for the endless hours, late night meetings, patience, and love you all poured into this project, which was incredibly more challenging than any of us expected due to the unique challenges of creating quarantine art. We’re so grateful for David Dabbon for creating such a beautiful musical arrangement, and to David Hoffman for mixing these incredible voices to make magic! Thank you for bringing our vision to life and using your fierce talents to give us some light!
