Episode 107: Stay Spicy - A Discussion of Racial Injustice and Mental Health with Dr. Brigee Jackson - a podcast by Jennifer Brookman, MFT and Audriannah Levine-Ward, Psy.D.

Keeping in line with the podcast's goal of amplifying melanated voices, Jenn and Audriannah sat down (virtually) with Dr. Brigee Jackson to discuss the intersection of racial injustice and mental health.  Dr. Jackson, a Black woman and an Oakland native, identifies herself a woman of faith and serves as the Clinical Counseling Coordinator for Bay Area Women Against Rape (BAWAR).  The ladies get vulnerable and "spicy" as they share personal experiences and professional viewpoints on the Black Lives Matter movement.  Topics include: allyship, the ABC's of coping, vicarious trauma, microaggressive behavior, Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome, humility, and the wisdom of the prophet Lil Wayne.
