Hero of the day: Terrie Williams
Public relations executive Terrie Williams has worked with some of the biggest names in the celebrity world, but she's speaking out now not to push a client's agenda, but to push her own.
Williams was the keynote speaker at American Psychiatric Association's Office of Minority and National Affairs in Chicago, where she emphasized the problems with mental healthcare faced by African-Americans. Williams herself has battled depression, so she knows what she's talking about.
"There's no one on this planet who hasn't been effected with mental depression," Williams said. "I want to make people, in general, to understand that without your mental health you have nothing. We as a people are in pain."
