In this episode, join Charmaine and Jasmine, two black licensed therapists as we continue our conversation about friendship. We are still on a journey trying to understand this thing called friendship and this time we are discussing the influence that black parents had on our friendships. We are exploring what things that we heard as children that just did not make sense, how our parents told us about friends, and what anxieties our parents may have had about friendships. We are laughing, we are scratching our heads, and we got questions that need answers!
