Dr. Shamarah J. Hutchins grew up dealing with mental health issues, being an athlete and struggling with forming a foundation spiritually. She started to work on her mental health, physical health and spiritual well-being separately but it was not until she worked through understanding how all three align together that she became healthier in her mental health, physical fitness and spiritual well-being. Dr. Hutchins founded The Melanated Minds Network to share her findings and be a helping hand and connection to others who are experiencing the need to move to an alignment in their mental health, physical fitness and spiritual well-being journey.
