In this episode, host Ashley Noz pays homage to two Black trailblazers and their unique contributions to the field of mental health for Black History Month . The first is Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller, the first Black psychiatrist in the United States, who made significant contributions to the study of Alzheimer's disease. The second pioneer is Bibi Moore Campbell, an author, spokeperson for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and mental health advocate who used her storytelling talent to explore mental illness in her novels. Ashley shares how each of these pioneers left a lasting impact on the field of mental health and how their legacies live on.
