We have a dream that one day people will stop only talking about Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr's (or is it Rev. Dr....?) "I Have A Dream" speech, and will start talking about his legacy as a whole.On today's episode we wanted to take a moment to pay homage to the man by talking about some of the myths surrounding him and his legacy. A peaceful man who called for unity, but not at the expense of Black liberation, but for Black liberation, and the betterment of the American people.

On today's episode we are having a conversation with Emily's oldest bestie, Dr. Chloe Wright, a Psychologist Candidate who has been passionate about mental health and wellness in marginalized communities for most of her life. We discuss the barriers on the road to quality mental health resources for communities of color, and all of the different intersectionalities within those communities. From lack of providers that reflect the community, to the fact the the theories that are taught to providers in school come from cis white men, quality therapy can feel unattainable to many people.For more information, visit our website at https://www.mixedmessagespod.com.Podcast by Bri Graham and Emily MadiganEditing by Bri GrahamMusic by Cory AlanGraphic Design by Caitlin DickmanSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mixedmessagepod)
