Summary
Tune in today for an eye-opening and vulnerable conversation that I have with my client, Shannon Taylor. Shannon is a perfect example of what's possible for a black woman with ADHD. This episode is the first in a series of episodes that I look forward to recording with my BIPOC clients.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and |
| 0:11.1 | coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD. Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder. |
| 0:27.0 | I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B. |
| 0:34.0 | Hey what's up, what's up? |
| 0:39.0 | This is Kristen Carter and you're listening to the I have the ADHD podcast episode number 92. I am medicated. I am |
| 0:46.8 | caffeinated and I am ready to roll. I did record this podcast on an empty stomach. You might notice that but I am still |
| 0:56.6 | ready to roll. I am so looking forward to you hearing this conversation today. My beautiful client |
| 1:04.8 | Shannon is here to share her story as a black woman with ADHD. I think this is a |
| 1:09.8 | really important conversation to have. It was very vulnerable. |
| 1:14.2 | I can speak for myself, like on my end, |
| 1:16.6 | I'm not sure if Shannon felt the same, |
| 1:18.6 | but I am really glad that we had the conversation and I look forward to interviewing more of my |
| 1:26.2 | clients who are people of color because I think that one of the things that I have not done beautifully that I want to change is having more |
| 1:37.0 | representation on this podcast in the focus program making sure that there are all sorts of voices of adults with ADHD who are |
| 1:49.2 | represented here and I'm just so thankful I reached out to Shannon she agreed to come on she's not |
| 1:57.8 | Positioning herself as an expert. She's not positioning herself as someone who is like speaking for all black women or all people of color and of course I am not |
| 2:09.4 | Positioning myself as an expert in this area either. I have questions and zero answers. But what we have |
| 2:17.4 | to offer you today is just a conversation and I'm excited for you to hear Shannon's story because spoiler alert. |
| 2:26.3 | ADHD is not just for white people. |
| 2:30.7 | I say this a couple times in the podcast and I know I've said this in prior episodes but ADHD does not discriminate it doesn't care |
| 2:38.0 | How rich you are or how white you are or like how American you are it doesn't discriminate okay there are |
| 2:45.9 | people all over the world rich poor young old it doesn't matter there There is ADHD everywhere. So I, this year, I'm excited and like moving forward. |
