Just Minding My Black-Owned Business Podcast

Episode 3: Overcoming the Mental Health Stigma by Shifting our Cultural Narrative

Host: Lynn Nicole

Guest: Tomina Ward - Founder of the Black Therapy Love app

Finding a mental health professional that you can trust and relate to can be difficult - especially in the black community. There’s often this unspoken feeling that we always have to remain strong, and this can often hinder us from taking care of ourselves. In fact, it can be hard to even admit that you need to seek professional help.
