Fighting in the Dark, Serving the Light: Inspired by Ann Jeffryes

In this episode, we explore the powerful journey of Black women mental health professionals who transform pain into healing for their communities. Inspired by Ann Jeffryes, we discuss the realities of systemic barriers, burnout, and the importance of representation in mental health care. Discover how these women are building safe, culturally competent spaces for Black youth, why self-care is essential for those serving others, and how everyone can play a role in creating more equitable, supportive environments. Join us as we shine a light on the courage it takes to fight for change—and the hope that comes from building together.
