2025 is already proving to be a year where community will be more important than ever before. But many may still be wondering, how do I find those I can trust and how do I maintain these relationships?
Helping us to answer these questions is writer, activist, and founder of BEAM, the Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective, Yolo Akili. For over 20 years, Yolo has led and designed mental and emotional health workshops, experiences, support groups, and training. During our conversation, we unpack some of the ways that we can approach mental health practices and principles as community members to better show up for one another and curate the sort of support systems that we need for ourselves.
About the Podcast
The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
