Customer Reviews
Awesome!
Thank you for this podcast! A friend shared your cast on ADHD and it was an intriguing listen! It was a little hard to hear you when your guest Taylor joined the show. Thanks again for sharing your insights!
perspective!
The perspective of this show feels like a conversation with my mother's daughter! I am floored every episode by how much I can connect to the guest and Dr. Dunbar. Thank you for creating this space for black women to be seen, heard and validated.
I started listening in October and I’m almost caught up on the episodes from the beginning to now😊
Amazing Podcast!!
