BLK Minds Matter with Alicia Ivory Alicia Ivory

Many people experience financial exploitation and abuse in their relationships. Although, it's widespread, there is little discussion around what it looks like, ways that people navigate through it or the impact that it can have on mental health. This brief video touches on the topic. Feel free to contact me and give me your thoughts.

We all understand in the abstract that lying and hiding information can harm relationships and damage vital connections. Something that is talked about a little less is the ramifications of lying on the mental health of the liar. In that respect, dishonesty and non transparency are violators of the black mind , not to mention relationships in the black family and community. I challenge you listeners to challenge yourselves to be as honest and transparent as you can. This will allow you to have the best relationship with yourself and open you up to what the universe has in store for you.

Hey Black Minds!
In this episode, I briefly discuss findings from survey data from apprx 100 African American people on mental health practices. I was particularly interested in finding out if religion and therapy were thought to be mutually exclusive in older black populations. The findings surprised me but left me with more things to think about.
Enjoy!

**Disclaimer*** This discussion and research is said to be based on data from African Americans. I must acknowledge that this term is far too broad as it includes anyone who deems themselves as both American and having some African Ancestry that is may or may not include spanish or latino ancestry. In this discussion, I am actually only speaking about African Americans who have America origin that predates the 1900's and who's story includes that of slavery, identity stripping, sharecropping, integration, the great migration and economic exploitation under capitalism. The findings may not apply to African immigrants after the 1950s or those that do not have a collective memory of the aformentioned social challenges of African Americans of earlier American origin.

I'm starting to see a pattern with my clients and families where there is an intergenerational gap in the belief in therapy, meditation, yoga and its ability to work with religion, particularly christianity. I'd like to know if this is something that alot of people are feeling and if there is indeed generational differences in mind/body technique vs. religion perspectives.
