Light Up The Darkness
Because Black people deserve to heal too. This podcast is a response to the stigma that exists around acknowledging and addressing mental health challenges in the Black community. By providing education and sharing stories of black people on their journey to healing, I hope to chip away at this stigma. We deserve to be a part of the larger conversation around wellness in this country. Especially now.

Episode 4
In this episode I am joined by "The Breakthrough Mama," Anese Barnett, M.Ed. This episode is about sowing the seeds for developing emotional intelligence in our children in order to create "generational health." Anese also offers many gems and tangible advice for parents and caregivers that will help them to maneuver and manage the effects the pandemic may be having on children's mental and emotional health. Stay tuned to the end for our "Mindful Moment," which you can do with your children!

In this episode, Anese suggests two books: Ruby's Worry & Purple Elephants. Links to purchase from a Black-owned bookstore local to me - The Lit. Bar.
