I am excited to be back after a short summer hiatus with a new podcast episode that’s not only close to my heart but also a fantastic opportunity to delve into the transformative world of Dr. Joy Harden Bradford and her debut literary gem, “Sisterhood Heals: The Transformative Power of Healing in Community.” As the founder and creator of Therapy for Black Girls, her work in making mental health topics more relevant and accessible for Black women has been truly monumental, and I was personally moved by our conversation.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, the founder and creator of the Therapy for Black Girls podcast and community, has long been a prominent figure in the mental health field. Her groundbreaking work is not only centered around making mental health topics more relevant and accessible for Black women but also emphasizes the vital role of sisterhood in the healing process.

We share personal stories, including my own journey into therapy and how it was the catalyst for greater self-discovery and growth. Dr. Joy emphasizes that therapy and sisterhood often go hand in hand, a topic extensively covered in her book.
We also delve into the transformative impact of being part of a supportive community especially as Black women. Dr. Joy underscores the importance of recognizing our strengths and talents, something that’s explored in detail within the pages of “Sisterhood Heals.” She highlights how having others amplify our achievements can be a powerful catalyst for personal development.
