In this talk, the team is joined by special guest Dr. Ebony, the creator of the My Therapy Cards, the only therapy card deck for women of color. The topic at hand was Microaggressions. We started off by defining what a Microaggression is and its various forms. Then we tackled all of the ways to handle them as well as self care to deal with them. Not to be forgotten, the team also discussed Microaggressions that children deal with from both teachers and other children and ways to help them manage.

Session 1: The Mental Health Awareness Podcast Kickoff
this open panel discussion I invited five mental health professionals who went in depth on the different forms on mental illness and its affects on the Black community. We wanted to focus on the stigmas, the disparity in help, the whys whats and hows. We envision this series as a teaching moment to educate our people on why mental health is important and the various avenues they can take. We also want to talk about the signs to look for as well as ways to cope. This is a definite must listen.
