When Dr. Rheeda L. Walker graced our Anacostia bookstore, we embarked on a profound journey into the heart of African-American mental health. Her inspiring story, from the roots of Savannah, Georgia to the penning of "The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health," offers a lifeline to those navigating the complexities of wellbeing within the Black community. It's not just a discussion; it's an exploration of the layers beneath our daily struggles and the strategies that can lead us toward healing.As we unpack the insidious effects of racism on both mental and physical health, the conversation turns to actionable remedies. It's not enough to recognize the problem; we need tools to counteract it. Enter the power of deep breathing—a profound simplicity that can transform our stress responses. With a guided session to illustrate its impact, we bring this practice to your ears, empowering you with a technique to use whenever life's pressures mount.Finally, we investigate the interwoven fabric of generational mental health, considering how our media consumption and digital habits shape our psyche. Incremental changes, Dr. Walker suggests, can lead to monumental shifts in our mental landscape. And through the joy of music and writing, we find a personal resonance that uplifts and inspires. It's an episode that celebrates the small victories, the power of presence, and the communal spirit of sharing wisdom to light our paths forward.MakerSPACE is here to meet the needs of today's entrepreneurs, creatives, and work-from-home professionals.

"I'm selling unapologetically through the whole thing and that's something I've really had to work on and work towards." - Christina EdwardsJess and I just sat down with Christina Edwards for this episode that will light a fire under your consulting business. Christina has built a multiple six-figure nonprofit consulting firm over the last 15 years by unapologetically embracing abundance in all its forms. If you're ready to stop playing small in your business and start embracing abundance, listen to this episode. Christina will inspire you to claim what you're worth, follow your passion, and get comfortable with being different. The opportunities are endless if we have the courage to color outside the lines.Key Highlights: Sell unapologetically. Don't be afraid to talk about what you're selling and promote your offers often.Staying consistent with selling is the key to growth. If it turns some people off, so be it—your true people will appreciate the value.Find your sweet spot. Whether it's high-ticket or low-ticket, courses or one-on-one work, choose what lights you up and go all in. There's room for us all, so don't get caught up comparing yourself to what others are doing. Focus on what works for YOU.Build your list and turn up the volume. Email marketing has been essential for scaling my business, and the more you email, the more opportunities you will have to serve. Don't be afraid to be visible and share your message loudly and often. The right folks will tune in.Collaborate for growth. Look for partnerships with other consultants to get in front of new audiences. Make it easy for them by handling the details, and be generous with commissions and bonuses. Successful collaborations are a win-win.Keep learning and embracing your "weird." The path of a nonprofit consultant is one of constant evolution. Learn from those further along, but also trust your instincts. Your unique experiences and perspective are what allow you to serve in a way no one else can.Be unapologetic and confident in selling your products or services.

Bipolar Disorder. A mental illness that causes people to have episodes of mania and depression. All too often a term thrown around in the Black Community...what's wrong with Aunt Jackie? Oh you know she bipolar! Meaning that she's moody, unpredictable, toxic, or chaotic. We are here today for the Sistahs. We are alright. Our mental health is impacted by so many factors- body image, imposter syndrome, physical appearance, etc. Our emotional responses have been labeled long enough, and it's up to us to In the Spirit of Auntie Maxine...reclaim our time, and tell the world who we are before they even attempt to define us. Dr. Rheeda Walker Bio:Dr. Rheeda Walker is an award-winning Professor of psychology, a fellow in the American Psychological Association, and a leading scholar who has published more than 60 scientific papers on African American mental health, suicide risk, and emotional resilience.

Episode #36: This show is a follow-up to a two-part series we produced in 2020 that examined the effects of racism on mental health. Now after more than a year of race-related protests, social and political unrest and many social change efforts, we reconvene to discuss the progress we've made and haven't made in undoing racism. Our guests are back to talk about what has changed for them personally, what changes they've seen systemically and what work now needs to happen in order to create communities that support mental health and well– being for people of color. Guest- host Gail Borkowski welcomes back Black community members: activist Joy Flynn, psychologist Dr. Robert Bartee, and educator activist Jason Seals. We hear about how they have been impacted by the events of the last year, including the sentencing of the officer responsible for the murder of  George Floyd, the presidential election, the insurrection at the US Capitol, and the vandalism of the Black Lives Matter mural in Santa Cruz. Guests discuss what they see happening in our communities, the changes they'd like to see and helpful resources. This show encourages us all to listen deeply in order to grasp the impacts of racism on our fellow humans and to take personal actions to dismantle racism and build communities that support health and well– being for Blacks and people of color. This is Part 3 of a series on Racism & Mental Health.

This week will mark the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder by the recently convicted former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. And, Floyd's death was followed by several high-profile acts of racism linked to trauma and measurable PTSD in communities of color. What role has the seemingly never-ending racial trauma played in the uptick of suicidal deaths among young African Americans? And shockingly, why are some mental health specialists surprised the rate of suicides isn't higher? Guests: Dahyana Schlosser — Boston-based child and family therapist Dr. Rheeda Walker — professor at the University of Houston Department of Psychology, author of “The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health” Joseph Feaster Jr. — suicide loss survivor, council member at Samaritans, executive committee member at the National Association of Mental Health Boston If you or a loved one is considering suicide, please call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255.

Dr. Rheeda Walker, a licensed clinical psychologist, professor, and researcher who works and speaks at the intersection of culture, spirituality, & mental health to address the impact of racial tension on well-being joins us to talk about her new book "The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health."

On May 25th, George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was brutally killed in Minneapolis by a White police officer, while three other officers stood by. In the intervening days, hundreds of thousands of people have entered the streets to express their outrage and sorrow, demonstrating against racism and police brutality. Before Floyd's tragic death, we had scheduled a different topic for today's ‘About Health.' But, after his death, we felt strongly it would be important to talk about racism and the impacts it has on the Black community. And, a conversation first aired in January between psychologist Dr. Rheeda Walker and host David B. Feldman seemed particularly relevant to the present moment. It's an interview about her new book, The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, which just came out in May. The conversation touches on so many issues that are perhaps even more relevant today than they were in January, including—among other topics—the effects of racism on the health and well-being of people in the African American community, the cultural strength of the Black community, and how social action can aid not only in fighting injustice but also in fostering individual emotional well-being.
