Summary
The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
In case you missed it, Bel-Air is back for its sophomore season! Last season our production team chatted about our favorite characters, plot lines of the season and shared predictions for season 2. In this week’s session, I’m joined by veteran TV Writer and Director Carla Banks-Waddles, the current Showrunner and Executive Producer on Bel-Air for Peacock. Carla is the Black woman behind over a dozen television shows, including That’s So Raven, Half & Half, Hit The Floor, and Good Girls.
During our conversation we chatted about her long-standing career in film and television, navigating the industry as a Black woman, and she dishes on Season 2 of Bel-Air.
