Living Within Stigma

Welcome to Living Within Stigma!

Our mission is to cultivate a vulnerable conversation surrounding mental health for people of color. We vow to you and ourselves to be present and authentic. Together we will create a space of hope.

This Week's Episode we are talking about what feels most authentic as black women with a special guest Kamryn Bonds. We discuss our experiences of not feeling like we fit in the box of what society has given us, and how to push past those limiting beliefs that we develop from young ages.

This Week's Episode

Our fears contribute to our mental health issues such as our depression and anxiety, and they become these invisible but totally debilitating, overpowering, destructive forces in our lives.

 Radical honesty (RH) is casually referenced as, practicing complete honesty and refraining from telling even white lies. The phrase was trademarked in 1997 as a technique and self-improvement program based on the best-selling book "Radical Honesty" by Brad Blanton.

This Week's Episode

We have a special guest Jada, an NCA&T colleague who shares her knowledge and experience with an autoimmune disease. There is definitely not enough information and support around this topic considering such high percentages that are affecting black women which is why this conversation with Jada is so necessary. We both are so inspired by her mission! During this episode we talk more about her non-profit, how she became more confident, authentic, and managed anxiety while being diagnosed with Hidradenitis suppurativa.
