Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, a weekly conversation about mental health,

personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions

of ourselves.

I'm your host, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia.

While I hope you love listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not meant to be a substitute

for a relationship with a licensed mental health professional.

Hey y'all, thanks so much for joining me for session 262 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

We'll get right into our conversation after work from our sponsors.

In honor and celebration of Pride Month, today we're focusing on the experiences of those in the LGBTQIA community

that identify as asexual or aromantic.

This week, I'm joined by Yasmin Binwa, the award-winning aromantic asexual activist,

and founder of the This Is What Asexual Looks Like Movement.

Our conversation explores what asexuality is and how it differs from aromanticism,

some common misconceptions about the asexuality community,

and the intersection of being both a black woman and an asero woman.

If something resonates with you while enjoying our conversation, please share it with us on

social media using the hashtag, tbginsession, or join us over in the sister circle to talk

Here's our conversation.

Thank you so much for joining us today, Yasmin.

Thanks for having me.
