+How does Bassey react to her diagnosis? She mentions her Blackness and conversations around mental health in her household growing up, how did these factors influence her reaction? What are some other factors you think influenced her reaction?

+Why would Bassey not initially accept her diagnosis? How does mental health stigma color her reaction? Why does this stigma exist and how can we as individuals and as a society work against it?

++Are these questions different than the ones you were asking as you read? Enhance the discussion by adding questions!
