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 Hardin

Bradford, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information or to find a therapist in your area,

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 377 of the Therapy for

Black Girls podcast. We'll get right into our conversation

after a word from our sponsors.

Hi, I'm Antonia Hilton

and I'm on the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

I'm in session today,

unpacking my journey as a black woman in journalism. Hey, I'm Gianna Pridenti. And I'm Jame Jackson Gadsden.

We're the host of Let's Talk offline from LinkedIn News and I-Heart Podcasts.

There's a lot to figure out when you're just starting your career.

That's where we come in.

Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice.

And if we don't know the answer, we bring in people who do, like negotiation expert Maury to Harry Poor.

If you start thinking about negotiations as just a conversation, then I think it sort of eases us a little bit.

Listen to Let's Talk offline on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcast. In previous episodes of the podcast, we've made it a point to highlight the experiences of black women professionals who are blazing new paths in their respective fields.
