As we wrap up mental health awareness month, it's a great time to talk with someone who is literally changing how we talk about mental health. This week, host Paula Felps is joined by Dominic Lawson, an accomplished, award-winning podcaster whose new show, Mental Health Rewritten, is tackling stigmatized mental health topics head-on. By taking on issues surrounding addiction and recovery, he is changing the way we talk about such things as sex, suicide, and cultural identity — and is teaching all of us about the role of empathy in overcoming shame. In this episode, you'll learn: The connection between addiction, recovery, and mental health. Why it's important to break through shame and isolation. The role of family in mental health and addiction recovery.
We always hear about resilience. About being strong. About pushing through.But what if that strength is silently breaking us down?In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I sit down with podcast legend and mental health advocate Dominic Lawson to have the kind of raw, honest conversation two Black men rarely get to have in public. We unpack what it really means to be “the strong one,” why so many of us suffer in silence, and how checking in with ourselves has to become a daily act of survival.Dominic shares how his work in behavioral health shaped his new podcast Mental Health Rewritten, and we dive into everything from burnout and boundaries to the lies hustle culture tells us about healing. If you've ever felt like you're carrying too much, showing up for everyone else, and losing yourself in the process—this one's for you."Sometimes, you gotta put the keys between your fingers and fight the damn wolf."Yeah... it gets that real.

CICLO MARTIN DURKIN - PARTE 1 Iniciamos un ciclo de dos episodios dedicados a desmontar la estafa del cambio climático antropogénico, es decir, producido por la mano del hombre, dado que tras la instauración de una planificada “pandemia”, dicho “cambio climático” es uno de los grandes retos a enfrentar. Para combatir tal influjo o hechizo, dado que la manipulación en todo ello es más que evidente, contaremos con dos documentales del cineasta británico Martin Durkin, productor y director de televisión y un tipo especialmente odiado por los lobbies ambientalistas, quien lanzara dos magníficos documentales desmontando la estafa del cambio climático o calentamiento global. El primero de ellos, bajo el título “La gran estafa del calentamiento global”, fue estrenado el 8 de marzo de 2007 a través del canal 4 británico, presentando a científicos, economistas, políticos, escritores y otros intelectuales de todo el mundo que se oponen a la opinión de la mayoría de científicos, afirmando que el calentamiento global producido por el hombre es mentira y el más grande fraude de los tiempos modernos. Dicho documental fue aclamado por críticos del consenso científico sobre el calentamiento global, entre ellos Andrew Bolt, Dominic Lawson y Steven Milloy, al igual que recibió el premio a Mejor Documental en el Isabella Film Festival, estando nominado para Mejor Documental en los British Television Industry del año 2008. En el presente episodio compartiremos con todos ustedes “La gran estafa del calentamiento global”, traducido íntegramente al castellano y un valiosos documental que pueda continuar contribuyendo a retirar la venda que demasiada gente continúa portando a día de hoy respecto a dichas cuestiones.

Episode Description: In this inspiring episode of Black Is America, host Dominic Lawson takes us on a cinematic, time-traveling journey through the lives of three iconic Black women whose speed transcended the track: Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo Jo), and Sha'Carri Richardson. Joined by Olympic gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson, Dominic explores how each of these women didn't just run — they defied societal expectations, symbolizing freedom, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of Black womanhood. From Wilma's battle with polio to Flo Jo's fashion-forward domination, and Sha'Carri's public redemption arc, this episode is a masterclass in perseverance and Black excellence. Tune in to uncover why for Black women, speed isn't just about winning — it's about being seen, celebrated, and rewriting history. Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways: Wilma Rudolph's journey: From polio-stricken childhood to becoming the fastest woman in the world at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Florence Griffith Joyner's style and speed: How Flo Jo combined athletic dominance with unapologetic beauty and cultural impact, redefining what a champion could look like. Sha'Carri Richardson's redemption story: How the sprinter's suspension became a national conversation on grace, resilience, and how Black women are held to impossible standards — and how she roared back stronger. The power of representation and freedom: Olympic gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson reflects on seeing Flo Jo as a child and how that vision of beauty and freedom inspired generations. Black women in business and politics: How Black women continue to break records not just on the track, but as entrepreneurs, educators, and changemakers. Historical context and cinematic storytelling: A non-linear journey through the stories of these women, enriched with sound design, Olympic archives, and historical parallels. The ongoing conversation around protecting and celebrating Black women: From Sandra Bland to Breonna Taylor, the episode challenges listeners to see victories without footnotes and to honor Black women's humanity and excellence fully. Notable Soundbites & Quotes from the Episode: "Speed is not just about moving fast — it's freedom." — Moushaumi Robinson "Black women don't just show up. They show out." — Dominic Lawson "It's always the first, but rarely the celebration." — Moushaumi Robinson "Sha'Carri's suspension wasn't just about track; it was about who gets grace and who doesn't." — Dominic Lawson "Black women mold adversity into strength — on the track, in boardrooms, and in Congress." — Dominic Lawson Final Thoughts This episode is a moving tribute to the legacy of Black women who run not just to win, but to inspire, break barriers, and push the world forward. Through Wilma, Flo Jo, and Sha'Carri, we're reminded that speed is more than physical — it's a spiritual declaration of freedom and resilience.

Have you ever considered the silent tales an office chair might tell if given a voice? This episode welcomes the incomparable Dominic Lawson, a maestro of the podcasting world, to spin an extraordinary yarn where our protagonist is none other than an office chair. He's taking us on a journey through time with the Anderson family, as their business flourishes from the post-war era to the present day, while an unassuming chair bears witness to every triumph, trial, and transition. As Dominic unveils this narrative, he deftly illustrates the profound impact of leadership, adaptability, and the resilience of the human spirit in business.As the tale unfolds, the chair emerges as a character imbued with the legacy of the Andersons—a testament to the family's grit and values.

Episode Notes Today is a special feature - a panel conversation I organized for SXSW featuring creatives discussing how to maintain your creative voice and vision. Social media turned creativity into content and artists into content creators. But, what if you have something more to say beyond recycling trends and presenting a carefully curated social media feed? How do you tell an entertaining, informative, and/or educational story reflective of your community in an industry that often limits representation to tired tropes? Culture critic, Dr. Saida Grundy sits down with three creatives spanning the media landscape - Munirah Jones, creator of The Mound, OWN Network's first animated series, Dominic Lawson, host of award-winning podcast Black is America, and documentary producer, Enora Moss - to uncover how they leveraged everyday technology to carve out their own creative lanes to tell the stories they wanted to tell without sacrificing their soul.

Tomorrow is Random Acts of Kindness Day, so it feels especially pertinent to discuss why we take time each Friday to spotlight our weekly wins. I believe that taking a moment to reflect, acknowledge, and celebrate our weekly wins is super important. Whether it's landing a major sponsor, hitting a milestone like 100 or 1000 downloads/views, or successfully sticking to your content production schedule for the week, recognizing these victories…whether you consider them big or small, gives us a boost of positivity and motivation. It's a reminder that progress is progress, no matter the size, and it sets a positive tone for the upcoming week. Plus, it's just a fun way to pat yourself on the back and say, "Hey, I did that!"

This episode of the Black is America podcast tells the story of Guy Bluford, the first African American astronaut in space. We'll explore his early life and inspirations, his path to NASA, the historical significance of his achievement, and his spaceflights. Guy Bluford's Upbringing and Early Inspiration - Guy Bluford was born in 1942 in Philadelphia, PA and became fascinated with aviation and engineering from a young age. - He was inspired by the Tuskegee Airmen and other pioneering African American aviators who were breaking barriers in the 1940s and 50s. - Bluford joined the Air Force, became a pilot, and flew combat missions during the Vietnam War, further fueling his passion for aerospace. Becoming an Astronaut - In the late 1970s, Bluford was selected for NASA's astronaut training program along with other African Americans like Ron McNair and Fred Gregory. - This was part of the first class of Space Shuttle astronauts as NASA prepared to launch a new era of spaceflight. Making History in Space - On August 30, 1983, Bluford launched into space aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger, becoming the first African American astronaut in space. - Original Tuskegee Airmen and other African American aviation pioneers attended the launch in recognition of Bluford's achievement. - Bluford flew a total of four Space Shuttle missions between 1983 and 1992, logging nearly 700 hours spent in space. Inspiring Future Generations - Bluford's accomplishment built on the struggles of earlier pioneers like Ed Dwight Jr. and inspired future African Americans to pursue careers in the space program. - After retiring from NASA, Bluford remained committed to encouraging youth, especially minorities, to pursue STEM careers. - His pioneering journey from Philadelphia to the cosmos opened doors for future African American astronauts, scientists, and engineers. Conclusion - In conclusion, Guy Bluford broke barriers as the first African American in space, both symbolically and literally reaching new heights.

Our guest, Dominic Lawson, shares his thoughts on how his childhood and early life experiences have shaped his current career path as an award winning podcast producer. Dominic is an Army Veteran who was forced to retire early at the age of 22 due to health conditions. While early retirement was a setback, it also led him to where he is today. He is the creator, host and producer of the Black is America Podcast, which highlights little-known African-American figures and stories. He also produces two other podcasts for Meadows Behavioral Healthcare.
