Hayley Williams’ Thoughts on Mental Health

In a heartfelt message for World Mental Health Day, Hayley Williams shared her personal journey with mental health and the challenges many face in finding support.

At first, she didn’t realize how serious mental illness could be until she was diagnosed with depression and PTSD in 2018. Before that, doctors told her she had chronic fatigue, but she didn’t know mental health issues could impact her body too. She shared these insights on her hair dye company’s Instagram.

Reflecting on her experiences, she mentioned how important it was to understand the connection between the mind and body. Fatigue from mental stress is becoming more common, making it hard for people to feel good both mentally and physically.

We all need more help with our mental health.

Williams found answers through mental health experts, which made her think about those without such access. “I hate thinking about how many people are stuck without answers or any tangible help,” she said. While small things like music or changing her hair helped her feel better, sometimes bigger support systems are necessary.

She concluded by highlighting organizations like Inclusive Therapists, Therapy for Black Girls, and the Trevor Project that work to make mental wellness more accessible and encouraged people to reach out if they felt connected to any of them.

This summer, Paramore joined Taylor Swift’s European Eras Tour and released their latest album, “This Is Why,” in February 2023.

Mary J. Blige, Gloria Gaynor, Lisa Lisa Featured in Lifetime Movies

Lifetime is set to showcase stories of famous musicians in new films.

This is the third film inspired by her song “Family Affair,” following Real Love and Strength of a Woman. The movie will feature Ajiona Alexus and Da’Vinchi again in their previous roles.

In Family Affair, tensions rise as Ben helps his brother secretly, and Kendra finds herself back in the city with an old friend returning to her life. They’ll need the family’s support to mend their bond and stay true to their love.

Mary J. Blige helped produce this film while Troy Scott directed, and Rachel Ingram wrote it.

Fans might find it exciting to see how these artists’ stories unfold on screen.

A week later, on February 1, a biopic about Lisa Lisa will debut. Jearnest Corchado plays the role of Lisa Velez as the movie shows her journey as a Latina star. Titled Can You Feel the Beat: The Lisa Lisa Story, the film highlights her path to becoming a music icon.

This film comes from Swirl Films, with Tailiah Breon directing and Rebecca Murga writing. Lisa Velez also took on the role of executive producer.

Wrapping up the series, I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story will air. Robin Roberts’ production company leads the project, with Joaquina Kalukango and Lance Gross starring as Gaynor and her husband, Linwood Simon. Gaynor herself is an executive producer for this movie, which will feature her most famous songs, including her hit “I Will Survive.”

The movie explores Gaynor’s personal struggles, such as her challenging marriage, offering a deeper look into her life. After this, Lifetime plans to show a documentary titled Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
