Lewis decided to produce the project because she knows that with women, and particularly women of color, depression is not something people like to talk about or acknowledge. So as a result many of these women deal with the issue alone, and in some cases they may not even realize they are dealing with depression at all.
Lewis is seeking out the women she will profile in the story and it is open to any African-American, Asian, Hispanic or other woman of color anywhere in the U.S. who has been diagnosed with depression or who feels they are likely dealing with it or bi-polar disorder.
If you fit the bill and are interested, please email [email protected] with your phone and email address, and a little about your situation or story.
