Madison Weil is a multimedia journalist for ABC 10News.
In honor of Juneteenth, ABC 10News is shining the spotlight on one small business making a big difference in San Diego’s Black Arts and Culture District.
“When it comes to mental health, it’s not just about medication or the things you’re prescribed. It also comes down to environment,” said Tommy Walker, who opened The Mental Bar with his wife Daneyel Walker two years ago. “Create an environment that you feel comfortable in, you feel calm and relaxed…that’s what we wanted to do. The space is meant for you to get out of your head,” explained Walker.“We’re in an underserved community,” said Daneyel Walker. “The Starbucks that they had around the corner…they took the tables and chairs out so that people cannot sit and communicate and create.”
“We know San Diego is comprised of a lot of small businesses and really helping them to tap into this billion dollar industry that we have here…we know supports our communities and our residents,” said Theresa Cunningham, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Community Engagement with the San Diego Tourism Authority.
