CBX Vibe

Costs of mental health are beyond dollars; it costs lives which is an incalculable loss. The mental health industry was a $383.31 billion sector in 2020 and is estimated to reach $537.97 billion by 2030. A new CDC report highlighted the suicide rate for Black girls and women ages 10 to 24 increased more than 30% in 2020 and 23% among Black boys and men in the same age group, as the multi-billion mental health sector continues to thrive while leaving some people behind.

However, with the resale culture, common folk will get access to luxury and high-end fashion items at more affordable prices. You'll get to experiment with new styles and brands without breaking the bank. All this is thanks to the emergence of various resale platforms and strategic partnerships with retail giants who want to venture into the billion-dollar industry.
