Season 2: Episode 4: The Root of It All Down To The White Meat

    • メンタルヘルス

In this week's episode, we discuss the facts surrounding Black history month and the black experience.  We were joined this week by Dr. Jo Von McCalester, PhD.  Together with Dr. McCalester we explored the significance of why Black history month is in February (We'll give you a hint, it ain't because its the shortest month!), as well as the significance of the HBCU experience, the importance of African American Venacular English, the connection of knowledge of self and how important this realization is for how you show up in the world. Whew! There is so much to unpack in this episode, now let's get down to the white meat!
