“Every topic and advice I have concerning Black families is directly inspired by the work within my own. I believe apart of my mission is to share personal experiences and professional advice with other Black people committed to the process of healing their families too.”

 

Our Mission

Black Family Scholar is a more than a podcast, it is a movement. I am committed to examining and challenging the learned behavior of silence surrounding traumatic incidents and problematic behaviors involving the Black family and its members. Our problems. Our solutions.

The time has come for us to look introspectively at our contribution in the demise of our family units. In the process of integrating with dominant culture, what key elements sustaining Black family life have been lost?
