It's not always black and white

from The Phlip Side · host THE PHLIP SIDE

Mental health is often discussed in whispers—but in the Black community, those whispers are shaped by generations of stigma, survival, and silence. This podcast explores how mental health and social stigma impact Black culture, relationships, families, and identity. Through honest conversations, real stories, we unpack why mental health struggles are so often misunderstood, ignored, or minimized—and what that costs us.From cultural expectations of strength and resilience to historical trauma and systemic barriers, we examine how stigma shows up and how it can be dismantled. This is a space for truth, healing, and growth—because addressing mental health openly is not a weakness, it’s a form of liberation.
