Meg THEE Stallion. Whew maybe we are biased but we love some Meg. We also love the song Anxiety and in this episode we are discussing it. Join us as we discuss what anxiety is and how it shows up in black individuals and in this case, black women because yes, it can look different than what people may think. We are discussing Black Girl Anxiety, trauma, and how we deal with these feelings; the good ways, the bad ways, and the ugly ways. Join Charmaine and Jasmine, two licensed black female therapists in this important and amazing conversation.
