My Story

On February 19, 1973, I experienced one of the most tragic events a child could encounter; I lost my mother, Ethel Hayes, to suicide. She was 29 years old and I was 11. From that moment on, my life changed forever.

Throughout most of my childhood, I carried tremendous shame and guilt as I grappled with severe trauma and loss.  As a young Black male, I quickly realized that mental health was not well understood or openly discussed within the African American community. For many years, I suppressed my feelings, an approach that caused many challenges for me later in life.

It wasn’t until I became an adult and started journaling about my childhood and my role as a student in Christian and Pastoral Counseling that I found my voice. I finally realized that healing is possible after a tragic loss. By raising awareness and destigmatizing mental health topics, I wanted to advocate the cause of the importance of seeking counseling so that no young boy or girl would experience the trauma I endured.

After completing my Educational Doctorate degree in 2020, I wanted to create something in loving memory of my mother. I discovered www.Bold.org and created the Ethel Hayes Destigmatization of Mental Health Scholarship for high school seniors and college students.

Creating this scholarship has been an amazing way to give back to the community and honor my mother’s memory. Throughout my entire experience, I continually attribute my perseverance and accomplishments to my faith in God.  I often recite this passage as my saving grace; “Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee” (Isaiah 26:3).
