ADHD Ain't New, But This Episode Is...

from ADHD AF!! · host Chante Douglass

In this very first episode of ADHD AF, I'm kicking things off by getting real about by ADHD journey. From being diagnosed at 15 to rediscovering that same diagnosis as a grown-ass woman at 35. I'm sharing what led me to seek help (again,) how validating that moment was, and the ways ADHD shaped everything from school to self-worth. This episode dives into the overlooked experience of Black girls and Women with ADHD, the ways we mask, and the cultural silence around mental health in our communities. This isn't just my story, it's OUR story. Raw, Relfective, and Real AF.
