It’s Mental Health Awareness Month and this episode I talked to TaKeesha White, Licensed Therapist and Master Life Coach and  friend in real life.   We talk about her at-home birth during this pandemic, as TaKeesha welcomed her twins, rounding her family out to three.

Therapy, specifically within the black community has such a stigma associated with it.  If you’ve ever resisted the thought of therapy, know your thoughts and fears aren’t unwarranted.   TaKeesha provides insight to the possible root of those fears, and the work that so many have and continue to do in shifting the paradigm; which is why we want you to Rethink Therapy.

It's Black History Month and this episode I talk to Najha Zigbi-Johnson, Freedom School Founder & Leader. "What does it mean to be committed to material change work; not just thinking about scholarships and talking for the sake of talking and sounding fancy, but what's our work in service of. Is it in service of something larger than ourselves?" Najha explores her own question. 

She shares about: Prison Reform, Bridging Community, Legacy, and Black Women.
