Before BED 6

The harmful labelling starts

On October 10, 2024 for World Mental Health Day, Ebony Gregg shared with us “LUCKY, lucky”, sensitively illustrated by artist Kate Alger in BED 6… A Name Erased. How did Ebony find herself reduced to BED 6? How did the erasure start?

This second instalment goes back in time looking at how societal pressures started it all by rubbing away a personal narrative and eroding the sense of self. Ebony also shows that when adequate support is provided, she can shine and has so much to offer to others.

This is Before BED 6.
