Apr 22 Podcasts that promote Mental Health in Black Culture

Podcasts are a great way to feel connected to likeminded people that discuss topics of interest. I love listening to podcasts that uplift my spirits, introduce me to a new way of thinking or make me laugh. I specifically seek out podcasts by Nigerians and people of color that address the mental health needs in our communities. Often times, people of color grow up without access to mental health resources. For some of us, we weren’t given permission to prioritize our mental wellbeing, so I greatly appreciate the surge in podcasts and therapy resources being offered through mediums like podcasts.

Since we are stuck at home, with ample time on our hands, I have compiled a list of my favorite podcasts that address mental health and social issues along with various topics. These podcasts discuss vulnerability in black/African culture, faith, relationships, self empowerment, and personal growth. I can attest that these podcasts validate my mental health journey and have connected me to other individuals around the world with similar interests. Browse through and find the perfect podcast for you.
