EP 80: Promoting Black Women’s Mental Health with Dr. Donna Baptiste


Listen Later

This is a very special episode… I recently co-authored a book (launching this May!) called “Promoting Black Women’s Mental Health: What Practitioners Should Know and Do” with Dr. Donna Baptiste. To celebrate our book launch, I invited Dr. Baptiste on The Unconditionally Worthy Podcast to talk all about it! 

Listen in to this episode as I welcome Dr. Donna Baptiste, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and leader of the Counseling graduate degree program at The Family Institute at Northwestern University. In this episode, we talk about our goals and experiences writing the book as well as the impact we hope it has on Black women’s mental health and the world at large.


IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT…

  • Black women’s unique experience with gendered racism.
  • Why we wrote “Promoting Black Women’s Mental Health”.
  • The research study we conducted on Black women’s thoughts on therapy.
  • How our research affected us.
  • How we’ve woven our own lived experiences into the book.
  • Dr. Baptiste’s top 3 favorite chapters & why.
  • How this book will directly benefit Black women.
  • and more!
