ABC/Fred WatkinsChloe x Halle and Andra Day are two of many celebrities featured in the Hip Hop Professional Foundation’s “Silence the Shame” PSA video.
Other artists featured in the clip include Nick Cannon, Estelle, Jeezy, Shanice, and Bell Biv Devoe.
The visual was produced to help spread awareness about the the organization’s Silence the Shame campaign, which kicks off on May 5, and their Silence the Shame Community Mental Health Fair & Symposium on May 6 in Atlanta, GA.
“Silence the Shame’s” founder, music industry veteran Shanti Das, created the initiative in 2016 after seeking help for her own struggle with depression and dealing with the aftermath of her father’s suicide when she was seven months old.
In a statement, she adds, “With Silence the Shame, I hope to educate, empower and normalize the conversation around mental health.”
