Typically, men don’t want help for mental health problems due to stigma; and for those who want help, it can take months to get in to be seen by someone. So, what are they supposed to do in the meantime? 

With my special guest, Dr. Obari Cartman, PhD, a psychologist and author, we discuss:

• taking therapy to black men where they are in the community
• transforming their familiar, safe spaces to healing spaces that engage them more deeply, facilitate their healing, and connect them with others
• utilizing the familiar in order to remember their Infinite potential, regain pride in their racial and cultural identities, recover their power, and demonstrate their innate brilliance.

The history of African-Americans is complex, nuanced, rich and full—one of courage, strength, and resilience side by side an ugly, painful history of a proud, diverse people’s unyielding struggle for liberation against the yoke of inhumanity. Our resistance and refusal to submit to oppression beckon us to embrace black history as a journey of power over pain.

Dr. Obari Cartman, a psychologist and author, discusses the importance of which black history narrative we tell, the perspective from which we tell it, and the intention to share the power of blackness in our chosen stories that empowers listeners. Expand your mental perspective, and celebrate the power, strength, resilience, and achievements of the African-American community found in an empowered black history narrative.

Each and every one of us want to matter! We want to be seen for who we truly are, and we want to be heard. When we feel invisible, it’s painful! We tell our stories in an effort to be understood, to be valued, to know that we matter. We tell the story of our loved ones and the society for the same reasons and to leave a legacy of our values, standards, accomplishments, hope, and resiliency for the inevitable hard times and losses. Storytelling enables us to see ourselves in each other. Through this bridge of connection and understanding, we can overcome differences, transcend indifference, and see our shared humanity.
