'People who have People Survive.' That's the message that Malcolm Phillips shared with us this week. 

In today's episode Marvyn and Darwood speak to the Counselling Programming Lead for Hestia. Hestia is a charity that provides support for people and children in crisis. He has done a lot of work to make therapy more accessible to black people by opening counselling centers in London, developing a black therapy training course and he has also been providing mental health support for the Grenfell survivors since the disaster in 2016.  

In this episode they discuss whether black people need therapy, the best way to access black therapists and alternative methods to have a healthy relationship with your mental health.  

If you would like more information or are seeking a black therapist, the resources in the episode that were mentioned are:

ukabpsi.co.uk (UK Association of Black Psychologists)

How do you identify as first? As a women, as black or does your nationality or career define you? On the very first episode of the Dope Black Women podcast, our hosts come together to discuss what blackness means to them, how their different backgrounds have shaped their perception of their blackness and how they have navigated being black in predominately white spaces, and moreover why they love being black.  

The conversation is raw, real and unapologetically black! 

The Dope Black Women Podcast is all about bringing black women together to discuss the topics that matter to us, connect and support with each other and through our digital sisterhood.  

Your hosts are: Leanne Levers, Roshan Roberts, Olivia Cope, Laurelle Brown and Victoria Nzeribe.
