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.
Last week we shared part 1 of a conversation about exploring non traditional pathways as a Black woman in the legal field and this week we’re back with part 2. For this conversation, I’m joined by Patrice Perkins, a business and intellectual property attorney with a focus on arts and culture, new media, and entertainment. She is also the founder of Creative Genius Law® -- a strategic legal partner that helps traditionally disempowered creatives use their intellectual property to build impact, generational wealth, and legacy. Patrice and I discussed the path to becoming a partner or opening your own firm, the importance of setting boundaries as an attorney, how she protects her mental health, and the importance of protecting your ideas as a creative entrepreneur.
