As I have grown into adulthood I’ve realized that it’s okay to express yourself and your feelings. Through conversations with friends I’ve noticed we have similar situations in regards to relationships with parents, friends, family etc where being vulnerable was seen as negative. The COVID pandemic and the fight for social justice impacted me a lot just like others. So in this episode I speak to a mental health practitioner about mental health in the black community, passion for their work, my discovery of what my trauma looks like and how therapy can help you through. 

In this episode of The LA Way, I sit down with my maternal grandmother to talk about her upbringing and how moving up north during the great migration allowed her family to achieve greater opportunities. We also talk about Black culture, upholding traditions, and leaving behind a legacy. Make sure you subscribe to The LA Way podcast and leave a rate!
