  • Creating community to support teens with mental health challenges

    The host has turned her challenging journey as a parent into a powerful community conversation on how to support teens, especially Black males, navigating mental health challenges. This podcast is such a gift to the village of parents raising our sons and daughters, breaking down stigmas so we can lift each other.

  • Racist

    This content is very useful and meaningful for ALL people. I went to listen to a bonus episode provided by Oprah but was quickly turned away from the episode because the lady explocitly says it’s for black families, black children, etc. It’s just so dissapointing that this blatant racism can occur and no one blinks an eye.
