Mineral Springs Middle School

The WS/FC Schools Mental Health Department & Forsyth County Behavioral Health Services is partnering to host a community engagement event titled "Real Talk, What's Really Going On?: A Safe Place to discuss mental health & substance use in our community" on Monday, February 23rd at 5:30pm - 7:30pm (detailed schedule below). Hannah Phillips, Community Educator at Forsyth County Behavioral Health Services and I are facilitating this event and are inviting resources throughout Forsyth County to set up resource tables for our families.

The goal of Real Talk is to bring teens and families together to openly discuss mental health and substance use in our community, as well as connect them with wellness and support resources. This event will open with a resource fair followed by separate breakout sessions for youth (8-12th grades) and parents.

Phylicia Rashad made Broadway history in 2004, becoming the first Black woman to win a Tony Award for Best Actress for her powerful performance as Lena Younger in ‘A Raisin in the Sun.’ Despite Black actresses shining on Broadway for decades, no one had ever won in this category—until Rashad.

Beyond Broadway, she became a household name as Claire Huxtable on ‘The Cosby Show’ and has mentored the next generation of Black performers. With a career spanning theatre, TV, and film, Phylicia Rashad is more than an actress—she’s a trailblazer who shattered ceilings!

Porgy and Bess has been debated since its debut in 1935. On one hand, it was revolutionary—featuring an all-Black cast in an opera at a time when opportunities for Black performers were rare. With iconic songs like ‘Summertime’ and ‘I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’,’ it became a cultural landmark. But its portrayal of Black life in Catfish Row has sparked criticism for reinforcing stereotypes. Despite the controversy, Porgy and Bess has been revived multiple times, with stars like Sidney Poitier, Audra McDonald, and Norm Lewis keeping its legacy alive. It even became a Hollywood film and inspired countless adaptations, proving its lasting impact on theatre and opera.
