Black women often face unique challenges when it comes to their mental health. They are often expected to be strong, resilient, and able to handle any obstacle that comes their way. This expectation of strength can lead to a reluctance to show vulnerability or seek help when needed.However, it is important for Black women to recognize the importance of balancing strength and vulnerability in order to prioritize their mental health. It is okay to not be okay and to ask for help when needed. Seeking therapy, talking to loved ones, and practicing self-care are all important ways to prioritize mental health.
It is also important for Black women to recognize the impact of systemic racism and discrimination on their mental health. These factors can contribute to feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. By acknowledging these challenges and seeking support, Black women can work towards healing and finding balance in their mental health.
Overall, it is important for Black women to prioritize their mental health and recognize the importance of balancing strength and vulnerability.

This story is part of a series from Public Matters, a reporting project in collaboration with KPBS and inewsource. Read more stories here.
Four years ago, the Democratic party appeared on its way to dominating South San Diego County.
In 2020, South County voters elected a Democrat to the County Board of Supervisors, ending generations of Republican control. Democrats held majorities on two of the region’s three major City Councils and were inching toward controlling a third. Republicans found themselves outnumbered on voter registration rolls by nearly two to one.
Last November, that forward momentum came to a screeching halt.
Voice of San Diego, along with our Public Matters partners KPBS and inewsource, recently crunched the numbers and looked at how voting patterns in San Diego County changed from 2020 to 2024.
Bucking its reputation as a sure bet for Democrats, South County lurched noticeably to the right in November. Even more surprising, the shift was most pronounced along the U.S.-Mexico border, defying some analysts’ predictions that Donald Trump’s hardline anti-immigration rhetoric would alienate Latinos and voters with cross-border ties.
In San Diego City Council District 8, where three-quarters of residents are Latino and many live within sight of the border, Trump’s share of the vote jumped by as much as a third, depending on the precinct. In 2020, just 29 percent of voters in San Ysidro backed Trump. Four years later, Trump’s share rose to 41 percent—more than a third higher. Shifts were similar, if slightly smaller, in Nestor, National City and Chula Vista.
To understand this unexpected trend, we assembled a cross-section of local voters in National City and asked them to share how they voted and what issues mattered most to them. Their thoughtful, insightful answers ranged widely but converged on a common theme.
National City voter Sherry Gogue summed it up well: “We’re tired of the status quo. We want change. We’ve had the same thing over and over. And not much change has occurred.”
Our panel of 10 voters included Democrats, Republicans and one independent. They differed on a few issues, especially the extent to which government should seek to reduce economic and social inequality.
But they were united in a shared belief that San Diego’s — and the nation’s — current leaders do not appear up to the task of solving major problems. Regardless of party, they wanted change. They wanted leaders who made good on campaign promises and showed tangible progress toward making San Diego better.
Several issues emerged as common sources of frustration.
Micaela Polanco, an independent who co-owns a mortuary in National City and voted for Kamala Harris, said she observed people in her community feeling a mounting “sense of insecurity” about what she described as a seeming lack of control over the U.S.-Mexico border.
“There were a lot of people coming from…all over the world, and it was impacting our border,” she said. “That’s what I think happened with the uptick in people voting for Trump…People really believe that Trump will at least have more of an enforcement to the immigration rules and regulations. Whereas under the Biden and Kamala Harris administration, it was more loose or they weren’t really tying up the enforcement.”
Other voters pointed to homelessness, public drug use and an overall sense of disorder. Sandy Naranjo, a Democrat from San Diego and former port commissioner, said that near her children’s school, “I would wake up, and what do I see? I see a sidewalk that needs to be fixed. I see human trafficking happening on a Tuesday morning. And this is all exposed to my kids. And so [voters] are getting tired of their local agencies not being able to change [things].”
Economic insecurity also ranked high. Liliana Armenta, a National City Republican, said she was friends with both Democrats and Republicans. Regardless of party, she said, “Ultimately, I believe we’re all looking at our own family economy and our own family life, at our own family security. I look at myself. I have two kids in college. But I have my 14-year-old daughter here [at home]. And I want to vote and want to make decisions that are going to impact her here in the near future.”
Though political analysts frequently describe American voters as almost irreparably divided, the voters in our panel were remarkably united on several so-called hot button issues.
Asked about rights for transgender people, all agreed that no one should be discriminated against on the basis of sexual identity—though a few objected to a recently adopted California policy that prevents schools from alerting parents when children question their gender identity at school.
They agreed that racism remains a problem in American society, though some wished more credit was given to recent progress on the issue.
All said they viewed America as a nation of immigrants, though even those from immigrant families said they preferred immigrants to follow legal pathways toward citizenship.
Ultimately, they said, such social issues mattered less in the voting booth than more basic concerns, such as the cost of living and public safety. As Armenta put it: “How are we going to fix it? Who’s going to fix it the best?”
That shared sense of frustration with the status quo could become a factor in the upcoming race to replace recently resigned San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chair Nora Vargas.
Vargas, who represented South County, campaigned and won as an avowed progressive. Her embrace of left-leaning causes persisted until her final weeks in office, when she championed a controversial policy limiting county agencies’ cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
Just four years after Vargas took office, South County’s political landscape appears vastly different.
As Naranjo put it: “There’s going to be a shift to the right because we have Democrats in power, and they’re not doing what they’re supposed to do.”
In the recent November elections, South County took a surprising turn to the right, showcasing the vulnerability of Democrats in the region. Traditionally seen as a stronghold for liberal voters, this shift has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about the changing political landscape.With key races in the area going to Republican candidates, it is clear that Democrats need to re-evaluate their strategies and appeal to a broader range of voters. The results of the election have exposed cracks in the party’s support base and highlighted the need for a more inclusive and dynamic approach.
As we look towards future elections, it is crucial for Democrats to engage with the community, listen to their concerns, and offer solutions that resonate with a wider audience. The recent shift in South County serves as a wake-up call for the party to adapt and evolve in order to maintain their relevance and competitiveness in the region.

Australian Open takeaways: Aryna Sabalenka shows vulnerability and Melbourne coffee wars intensify
Follow The Athletic’s Australian Open coverage
Welcome to the Australian Open briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament.
On day six, Aryna Sabalenka showed some vulnerability, coffee was a talking point and two players set up a fascinating rematch.
How Aryna Sabalenka’s early performances change the feel of the tournament
Just like last year, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is through to the fourth round of the Australian Open without dropping a set. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end.
Twelve months ago, defending champion Sabalenka posted wins with scorelines of 6-0, 6-1; 6-3, 6-2; and 6-0, 6-0 to get this far. She looked invincible. Her aura helped her carry on that form into the tournament’s second week and she duly retained her title without dropping a set.
Things feel different now.
Sabalenka has looked shaky for long stretches of all three of her matches in the 2025 edition. On Friday, she had to overcome a pretty dismal serving performance in a 7-6(5), 6-4 win over the unseeded Clara Tauson. Sabalenka was broken four times in the first set and appeared to struggle with her timing on a sweaty Melbourne afternoon, spraying errors that momentarily made her look like a mile away from an all-conquering world No. 1.
The other way to frame it is that Sabalenka showed great mental resolve to grind out the win. It was the kind of match she might well have lost a few years ago and she spoke of how proud she was of her mental effort during her on-court interview.
For the rest of the field, the struggles of this event’s would-be three-in-a-row champ at least provide a glimmer of hope that she might be beatable here. It’s equally possible that Sabalenka is just getting into her stride, ready to return to her formidable best in the second week.
Don’t tell Mirra Andreeva — her next opponent. Or the other 14 players left in the women’s draw.

The Australian Open coffee wars intensify
After a smooth 6-0, 6-2 win over Rebecca Sramkova, Iga Swiatek had the Melbourne crowd in the palm of her hand for her on-court interview.
Speaking about another of their favorite subjects seemed like a safe bet.
How is the coffee in the Australian Open’s host city — which Swiatek declared she loved 12 months ago?
“In Sydney, I found better,” Swiatek replied.
After an on-court performance backed by the controlled aggression and relentless defense that took her to the top of the tennis world in 2022, this was an egregiously unforced error.
Alex de Minaur, who is from Sydney, demurred in the face of the same question. “There’s no better place for coffee than Australia,” the ATP world No. 8 said after beating Tristan Boyer 6-2, 6-4, 6-3.
Swiatek loves her coffee (Fiona Hamilton/Tennis Australia/AFP via Getty Images)Perhaps fortunately for Swiatek, the Australian Open coffee wars have moved on from the players to the fans. With the tournament posting attendances of over 80,000 every day and over 90,000 on the majority of them, there needs to be a lot of coffee available. A 99-acre site with 15 coffee shops seems limited, and a Reuters report details disgruntled coffee-seekers purportedly walking “kilometers” to get their hands on some.
Coffee demand oscillates with the Melbourne weather; on hotter and drier days, the lines at bars for beer, wine, soft drinks and water are longer than those for coffee, but the wetter days in the early part of the tournament gave more cause for seeking out hot drinks.
This year’s provider is Urban Cup, which Tennis Australia describes as a pop-up coffee stall. It has no web presence and no recognizable connection to Melbourne, which for a city with myriad world-renowned coffee brands is something of a surprise.
Lavazza, a fixture of coffee sponsorships at tennis’ other three Grand Slam events, is in espresso hoppers in the media areas, but conspicuous by its absence around the wider grounds.

The upside of a first week in which things — mostly — went to seeding
The 2025 Australian Open has not been a tournament of upsets so far, and fans are already seeing the benefits, with numerous tight matches between two top-20 players in the third round.
On Friday, No. 18 seed Donna Vekic and No. 12 seed Diana Shnaider treated Melbourne Park to a fiercely competitive three-setter, that Vekic won 7-6(4), 6-7(3), 7-5 in almost three hours.
In an undulating contest, Shnaider served for the match up 5-3 in the final set but was broken and didn’t win another game as Vekic powered towards the finishing line. With Pam Shriver, one of her coaches, 7,000 miles away in Los Angeles, Vekic has navigated tough early matches with calm assurance.
At around the same time, the No. 11 seed Paula Badosa edged out No. 17 seed Marta Kostyuk 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
The draws on the men’s and women’s side look pretty stacked for the fourth round, the benefits of which should massively outweigh the lack of week one upsets so far. Qualifier Learner Tien’s stunning win over men’s No. 5 seed Daniil Medvedev and Laura Siegemund’s ousting of women’s No. 5 seed Zheng Qinwen remained outliers until late Friday night, when Olga Danilovic put on a stirring performance to knock out No. 7 seed and U.S. Open finalist Jessica Pegula, 7-6(3), 6-1.
Novak Djokovic, who preceded Danilovic on Rod Laver Arena and beat Tomas Machac, watched her match point on a big screen and raised his arms aloft when it was over. Danilovic equals her best run at a major by reaching the fourth round; the last time she did it was at the 2024 French Open.

A repeat of 12 months ago beckons for two entertainers of the men’s game
Another star of the coming new generation in men’s tennis fell out of the draw Friday.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina saved a match point and climbed back from two sets down to beat Jakub Mensik, the big and talented 19-year-old. This was a day after Lorenzo Sonego took out the phenom Joao Fonseca, also in five sets.
Those losses took some air out of the newness balloon floating over the grounds the past week. Take heart: Davidovich Fokina’s win sets up a rematch of a crazy five-set battle he had here two years ago with Tommy Paul, two athletic and sometimes flashy players capable of putting on a show.
That five-set rollercoaster unfolded on Court 7, in front of maybe a few hundred people in the second round. It’s all but forgotten in tennis history, except for those involved.
Paul’s eyes lit up at the memory on Friday. He came back from a two-sets-to-one deficit that day and ended up making the semifinals. “The level of that match, if it was on a stadium court, that would have been talked about, but we were on an outside court,” he said. “It was a high level all the way around.”
May it be once more.

Data Center Vulnerability Assessment: Identifying Weaknesses and Strengthening Security
In today’s digital age, data centers play a crucial role in storing and managing vast amounts of sensitive information for organizations of all sizes. With cyber threats on the rise, it is more important than ever for data center operators to conduct regular vulnerability assessments to identify weaknesses and strengthen security measures.A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of a data center’s infrastructure, systems, and processes to identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities. By conducting regular assessments, data center operators can proactively address weaknesses before they are exploited by malicious actors.
One of the key benefits of conducting a vulnerability assessment is the ability to identify and prioritize security risks. By analyzing the data center’s network, servers, applications, and physical security measures, operators can pinpoint vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by cybercriminals. This allows them to take proactive measures to address these weaknesses and strengthen overall security.
During a vulnerability assessment, data center operators may use a variety of tools and techniques to identify potential security risks. This could include conducting penetration testing to simulate cyber attacks, reviewing system configurations for misconfigurations, and analyzing access controls to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data.
Once vulnerabilities have been identified, data center operators can take steps to address these weaknesses and strengthen security measures. This could include implementing patches and updates to fix known vulnerabilities, enhancing access controls to restrict unauthorized access, and implementing encryption to protect sensitive data.
In addition to identifying and addressing security risks, vulnerability assessments can also help data center operators comply with regulatory requirements and industry best practices. Many regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), require organizations to conduct regular vulnerability assessments to protect sensitive data.
In conclusion, conducting regular vulnerability assessments is essential for data center operators to identify weaknesses and strengthen security measures. By proactively addressing vulnerabilities, organizations can reduce the risk of data breaches and protect sensitive information from cyber threats. By prioritizing security and investing in regular assessments, data center operators can ensure the safety and security of their data center infrastructure.
