What Is Black Mental Wealth? With Dr. Raquel Martin

We talk about Dr. Martin's journey and her understanding of Black mental wealth. It is important to recognize our values and boundaries and the power of music on mental health and the community, as well as discuss where to get the best tools to build a better Black future.

This second episode pulls back the curtain on who Kevin Powell is and what events shaped his work, his soul, and his outlook on life, love, and how to show up for the people who listen to his words. The rest of this interview goes far beyond a simple conversation about what inspired a writer.
No, it shows the world that every creative out there has a responsibility to be a positive influence and spread nothing but love and respect for all who come to hear their words.You can find Kevin Powell’s incredible new book in print https://softskull.com/books/grocery-shopping-with-my-mother/.
