This week, Dr. Janai and Dr. Pam explore the multifaceted dimensions of Blackness, from culture to identity and representation and its impact on one's mental health. This week's conversation aims to foster understanding, compassion, and appreciation for the rich diversity within the Black community, challenging stereotypes and celebrating its inherent strength.

For this week's listener letter, Dr. Janai and Dr. Pam revisit the concept of boundaries, focusing on the power of saying "no" and standing firm. Dr. Janai surprises Dr. Pam with her Spanish-speaking skills, and together, they share valuable insights and strategies on how to work up to demanding folks to put some respect on your "No's" and your boundaries.
