註釋Sheila Jones Mays is a woman on a journey. Hold On is her first book which is a paver on her road. Mays' world of manicured lawns and social stature halted with a medical challenge to confront - mental illness. She had to stop to deal with this new episode in her life. Mays is from many generations of fighters for social change. Instead of simply taking her prescription and sitting quietly in a room, she became a warrior for change. Her new road leads to healing. She walked with a new vision repaving that crumbling road with bricks of education, wisdom, and experiences. As an advocate, the mission was to help erase the stigma of mental illness. This book, HOLD ON, serves a personal guide for anyone who wants to understand and help themselves or others. As an advocate, the mission was to help erase the stigma Mays has served on the TennCareSelect Behavior Health Advisory Committee. She has spoken at conferences, forums, schools, and churches to talk about her experiences and inner strength dealing with mental illness. Other organizations include Nami Advocate and Jack and Jill of America, Inc. - Nashville Chapter. One of her moving presentations was at the National Black Caucus of Legislators. Armed now with goals to improve the understanding and compassion for mental health issues, she thrives. This divorced mother and native of Nashville, Tennessee brings light in the darkness. Also, the alumnus of Fisk University and member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is a Survivor for Hope.
