In this episode, Dr. Tasha sits down with Brad Richards: community leader, aspiring entrepreneur, and first-generation college graduate. Brad shares insights on the power of collective ownership and economic empowerment, particularly in historically underserved areas, and discusses the complexities of Blackness, from family influences and heritage to the resilience ingrained in Black culture. Reflections on mental health, community impact, and redefining self-care offer a fresh perspective on what it means to show up authentically in every space. Join us for a conversation that celebrates the richness of Black experience and the ongoing journey of navigating the duality of Black identity with pride and purpose.
