Sally Kohn: There are some very real mental health implications to this idea that we need to be like tough and strong and like on all the time. She says a lot of black women find themselves in spaces where they feel like they can't drop that armor. "I'm arguing that with one another, we can create those spaces where we don't have to have that armor on," she says.
Esteemed therapist Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, in her new book Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community, emphasizes the healing power of community to combat feelings of isolation. She discusses creating safe, vulnerable spaces and the importance of platonic relationships for genuine understanding and support. Join us as we delve into themes of loneliness, sisterhood, group dynamics, and the unexpected origins of deep connections.
