☎️ So often I hear people say they are in need of Black therapist. This week, I sit down with licensed therapist Dante Duvall. After the icebreaker, we talk about social networking boundaries, (around 42:00) the identity crisis currently facing America, and managing collective trauma that we as a Black community experience almost daily. . . . Thank you Dante for dialing in this week to the Hung Up Podcast. It was a dope conversation, I honestly felt like I was in a therapy session. I hope this isn’t the last time we collaborate. If you are looking for a Black therapist or a link to resources don’t hesitate to hit up Dante @dante_duvall @theunorthodoxtherapist and also, check out @wearegeorgephl Dante’s local support group for POC. . . .

☎️ The Social Security Administration took my paycheck because my father was overpaid in benefits when I was 11. Listen in because this could happen to YOU.
