Come chat with host Kennedy and this week's guest, therapist Madison Sparkman. She is both a Spelman and DePaul alumna. In this episode, they discuss the stigma of being labeled a "strong" black woman and how it has limited their ability to be vulnerable and see themselves and the world fully. They touch on a few topics such as the strong black woman schema, the health of black women, the importance of stepping outside the lens of one's trauma, being black in academia, and post-graduate depression.
