Description: Dr. Branch interviews Dr. Justin Dodson a Black Male therapist who overcame significant challenges to earn his PhD, despite facing racism and lack of support from other Black professionals. He developed a strong sense of determination and confidence, using his "ego" to drive him forward when faced with obstacles. He credits Black women as key mentors and supporters along the way. Dr. Dodson emphasizes the importance of self-love, saving money, and being true to one's purpose, rather than chasing external markers of success. The conversation highlights the shared experiences and perspectives of the two black male therapists, who see themselves as "Black Unicorns" in the field and want to support each other's growth and success.
