Summary
Hey lady! We know that right now the onslaught of news is hard to escape. Everyday there is a new anxiety-inducing development, a new manufactured fear to distract us from our mission’s work. We’re here to tell you that if you are having a hard time keeping your head up, you are not alone. What we’re experiencing is not normal, which is why Terri and Dr. Dom invited friend of the show and American Psychological Association President Dr. Wendi Williams to have a heart-to-heart about the psychological toll that’s being levied onto the American populace, particularly Black women.
Not only are we witnessing horrendous injustices, confusing schemes, and a barrage of misinformation from the administration but we are witnessing a targeted attack on the Black woman worker in the economy. Dr. Wendi breaks down the historical implications of the reported 300,000 Black women who have suffered job loss or prolonged absence from the workforce. She states that the number is actually higher. You’ll have to tune in to hear why. Dr. Wendi also talks about why her role as the president of the American Psychological Association is critical as we begin to imagine the solutions that will help us fight our way out of this mess.
Dr. Wendi keeps it real about the moment we’re in, but she offers perspective that will inspire hope in your heart.
Lady, by now you know we all we got. Hold tight to your sister friends and send them this episode so we can keep each other uplifted and informed. Dr. Wendi offers a powerful antidote to the evil we’re seeing with a vision of life where we finally create a world that is sustainable for us to thrive!
