from f-boy to f-boy, where art thou romeo?
What Up, Ya’ll! In this episode of Building You Up, Charm encourages a new perspective when it comes to the slang word: Fuck Boy. Charm offers her reflections on the word, as well as, the people we decide to label as F-boys. The thing is that everyone knows what fuckboy means, but no one knows what fuckboy means. So, Charm offers her listeners the definition, as well as, the history behind the slang word. Some Google results state the term was first used to describe male inmates being used as human sex toys in prison. From there the term involved and became popularized by Hip-Hop to describe narcissistic behavior being displayed within romantic relationships, as well as, the dating scene. Charm shares her lived experience with toxic people and how she uses compassion to combat the effects of The F-Boy Epidemic.

additionally,
July 2018 marked 10 years since Minority Mental Health Month was founded. The following excerpt was taken from @mentalhealthamerica
“July was designated as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in 2008 to bring awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face in regard to mental illness in the United States (US).
While the term ‘minority’ is traditionally associated with racial, ethnic, or cultural minorities within the US, Mental Health America (MHA) is focused on expanding this term to include individuals from a wide range of marginalized and underserved communities, including those who may identify as part of the the LGBTQ+ spectrum, refugee and immigrant groups, religious groups, and others who are often overlooked.
By making this term more inclusive, we are broadening our way of thinking and underscoring the need to address mental health issues with a unique lens while integrating the varied needs of diverse communities." Through the efforts of Mental Health America, they aim to shed light on the multitude of mental health experiences within these communities.
