This week we talk with the absolutely wonderful Cassandre Dunbar (she/her) of Be Well Sis (@bewellsis_podcast). We chat about Black mental wellness, burnout, self-care, & how the events of this summer have impacted the mental health of the Black community. This episode is quite heavy in its content, especially for the Black community. Please make sure to take care of yourselves. 

And if you want to learn more about Cassandre, she has an AMAZING podcast centered on mental wellness and care called Be Well Sis, available on all streaming platforms. She also can be found on IG @bewellsis_podcast & online at https://thebewellsis.com.
