With all the traumatic headlines we’re forced to see, roles we have to take on in the workplace, and the work we do for the culture, sometimes our own mental health takes a back seat. That’s got to stop. No more stigma. No more shame. On today’s episode we sit down with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford - licensed psychologist, speaker and the host of the wildly popular podcast Therapy for Black Girls - to discuss the merits and myths of seeking the mental and emotional help we need. Our docket also includes updates in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the case of the Black police officer who was fired for using the n-word, and what officials are ruling in the case against Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend. Plus, Eboni and Dustin’s take on Meghan and Harry’s audience with the Queen... Oprah.
