S2 Ep 2: Dear Afropolitan, how are you really doing?

On this episode of Afropolitan Central, we're joined by our lovely friend and licensed therapist, Kobe Campbell from the Healing Circle, to have an insightful, vulnerable and honest conversation about our mental health as Afropolitans. We start by sharing the perceptions and misconceptions we held growing up in African households, the shifts that have occurred as adults, the nuanced factors and burdens that impair our mental well-being as Afropolitans living in Western societies among others. Finally, we share some simple tips that can help us to continually take better care of our mental and emotional well-being. You absolutely don’t want to miss this episode so listen in two takes if you have to! We want to hear from you on what it would look like for us to build a mentally Afropolitan community as well as your general thoughts and musings from this episode!
