This week, we're concluding season one with a deep dive into the mental health experiences of Black men. Alex and Colby are joined by special guest, JT (Joshua Terry, LPC) to unpack the cultural expectations and societal stereotypes that often discourage emotional expression and vulnerability. JT speaks candidly about the importance of creating spaces where Black men feel seen, heard, and supported, while Colby and Alexandria reflect on how upbringing and relationships shape emotional development. They also shed light on the media’s limited portrayal of Black men and the lasting harm caused by misdiagnosis in schools. Alongside personal updates - including Alexandria’s celebration of becoming a licensed clinical social worker—the hosts share insights, frustrations, and self-care strategies, ultimately emphasizing the value of therapy, mentorship, and community care.
