Holding Space & Breaking Cycles in Racialized Communities | Amma Gyamfowa

"Mental health is not a blank slate."

In this episode, Registered Social Worker Amma Gyamfowa joins us to dismantle the "Strong Black Woman/Man" trope and explore why we need culturally responsive therapy.

We discuss the erasure of Black experiences in social work curriculum, how to identify "core beliefs" shaped by racial trauma, and Amma's journey from the public sector to building a thriving, Afrocentric private practice.
