THIS IS A MUST LISTEN TO EPISODE
How many times growing up did we see our uncle who was always drunk or our aunt who was known to have conversations with herself. How many times did you hear that someone was getting a crazy check and how often were you told just to be careful around that certain family member. Mental illness affects so many of us that it has become normalized. So much that we often don't recognize it and often dont get treatment.
1 in 5 US adults suffer from mental illness and 1 in 16 suffer from major mental illness. Today we sit down with Dr Harrison Davis to dive into mental illness in the black community. We learn what mental illness can look like and how we can better take care of those around us who suffer from it. We also learn how to increase our chances of surviving a police interaction when in the middle of a mental health crisis.

Please find more info on Dr Harrison at his website (harrisondavis.com) or on his podcast Two Therapist and a Microphone

Each one teach one - The barbershop ... While Black
The black mans country club it's where we go to look good, feel good, and recharge. It's a safe place to be a black man uninterrupted for 45 minutes and its role is an important today as it has always been. Honestly speaking we would argue it's more important today than it's ever been.
Today we take you inside the barbershop and barbershop conversations with Zoe. We talk the state of Black America, black men and fathers, and what's next for us. We apologize to black women collectively and we discuss how the barbers in the shop have been and need to be again role models in our communities.
Enjoy the ride…
