In response to Trevor Noah's reupload 2 days ago of his black mental heath video with over 1.6 million views, in this cozy episode I'm doing my part as a fellow black woman & compassionate mental health advocate to further this important dialogue by sharing what we can learn to improve from a potential missed opportunity in that video, while highlighting 5 empowering self care advocates (like "Plant Kween" on Instagram) & mental health resources for people of color, built off of inclusion and cultural understanding, especially for my lovely black kings, my beautiful lgbt+ community, & those looking for affordable self-care tools. (Season 3 arrived early with a new mic! Official launch Monday 1/11/21 5am EST)
