Summary
We also talk about therapy: how to find the right therapist and why it’s so important for Black men and veterans to have spaces where they can heal and be understood.
This episode is especially meaningful to me because James was one of the first mental health professionals to support Express Yourself Black Man — back when we had less than 10K followers. So if you support us now, know that he supported us then. Show him some love and follow him — he wants to see you win!
