BREAKING THE SILENCE by Tonya Jones.
Through this book, Tonya seeks to honor DJ’s memory and bring awareness to the silent struggles of mental health. She hopes that by sharing her story, others will feel encouraged to speak up, seek help, and understand that mental health challenges should never be faced alone.
"Mental health isn’t a weakness to hide - it’s a truth to embrace. When we speak up, we give others the courage to do the same. Healing begins when we know we’re not alone. Together, we rise through the silence."
