    The Hairy Episode | In Conversation with Afro Textured Hair Activist Lekia Lee

    Trigger Warning: mention of attempted suicide.  This week we’re joined by Lekia Lee, founder of Project Embrace, an initiative to increase visibility of Afro Textured Hair. Lekia shares her own journey to self-love and acceptance, the challenges of overcoming her internal critical voice about her identity and beauty, and how she found her way to fully self-embrace. We discuss whether hair is the last bastion of discrimination. Lekia describes how desire for her own daughter not to experience self-criticism led her to launch Project Embrace, which aims to break boundaries and change perceptions of beauty by making the beauty of Afro textured hair more visible in the media.  Lekia reminds us why representation is so important, how perceptive children are and how much black girls can learn through gentle nurturing of their hair by both mothers and fathers.  https://www.projectembrace.org.uk/

    The Mental Health Episode | Addressing Mental Health in the African and Diaspora community with Dr Sandra Jumbe

    Aileen and Daphne are joined by guest Dr. Sandra Jumbe, a health psychologist from Malawi living and working in the UK.  They discuss what mental health is, while looking at how it can be positively maintained and some of the triggers that can adversely affect it.  Sandra shares her personal experience, from being a foreigner in the UK as a teenager, to being a black woman in the field of research in health psychology.  The conversation considers the stigma surrounding mental health in African communities and some of the work Sandra has initiated to address the misperceptions associated with mental health and provide accurate education around the topic.  Is the stigma less apparent in the diaspora than on the continent? and what are some of the pressures faced by women in the diaspora that can negatively impact their mental health.  Sandra provides insight into finding support and some practical ways of guarding ones own mental health. https://www.baatn.org.uk/ http://www.mhlec.com/ (Sandras website will be live soon)
