Post Talk Message from LaToya Faulk:
The relationship I describe at this time in my life was an unhealthy one. These sorts of relationships have the potential to impact work production in academic settings and your mental health. It’s imperative that women, but particularly women of color working in academic institutions, find healthy and steady partnerships that provide them with an equity of support which will be needed to counter the insurmountable stress and systemic injustices of higher education.
Moreover, I don’t want listeners to presume access to a library database substitutes for comprehensive mental health services. It is, however, important that we recognize that access to quality mental health services can be limited even for women of color who are single mothers with advanced degrees.
