Episode Description from the Publisher

We’re talking about therapy a lot more than we were when we taped this episode five years ago, but there’s still a lot more to talk about. Black men are still four times more likely to die by suicide than Black women. This week’s episode revisits our powerful 2020 conversation that delves into this question:  Why is therapy so taboo in the black community, especially amongst black men?Poet and writer Prentice Powell kicks off the episode by performing a poem he wrote in 2014 after the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
