Darlene Malone met her inner child during the making of the documentary film, Hollywood Beauty Salon.
“It was healing but very hard, very painful but I found spirituality and it was therapeutic for me. Being prideful that is not helpful. I opened up and the tears came. Before, I would hide them. I was always tough, wearing a mask and I didn’t open up. By sharing my mental illness which I deal with every day, it’s healing. It’s not a secret,” said Malone.
Malone along with Rachel, Crystal, Sanetta are featured in the documentary that explores a beauty parlor inside a non-profit mental health facility in Germantown where men and women come together supporting each other as they recover from mental and addiction illnesses.
