The Kinswomen bring on their first-ever kinsman as a guest, and he's a great one. Marvin Toliver is a social worker, changemaker, and co-founder of Melanated Social Work. We discuss why Black folks shouldn't pay for therapy, the impact of oppressive systems on both therapists and clients, and the dynamics of being a man on a female-run podcast -- plus so much more.   Kinswomen is bringing back our community conversations!
