We gotta go bullet point style for this one! Diagnosed at age 24 with genital HSV, Ebony shares her experiences leading up to her diagnosis from her home life to intimate relationships. In this episode we talk:
- Mental health in the Black home
- Religion's value in the Black home vs mental health
- Shame of sexuality leading to overt abusive behavior
- How healing through the herpes community can occur
This was a great conversation that provokes thoughts about how our beliefs shape our behaviors until they're challenged by reality.
