Women Of Color And Mental Health

Recently in Houston, Texas, a 64-year-old Black woman intentionally crashed into the back of an 18-wheeler. Pulled out a gun and a lawn chair and sat in one of the lanes, sparking an hours-long standoff, and has a history of mental illness. The woman would later surrender, and no one was hurt in the incident.

Tune in live Thursday at 6 PM CST with the host of You And The Law Podcast and this week's guest, Helenia ( Candi) Valencino, with Aunt-Mom Basic Tribe Foundation. For a conversation about Women of Color and Mental Health, Black women face significant disparities in mental health care. Understanding why these differences occur requires an appreciation for not only the multiple roles that Black women play in society but also for the racial and social injustices they have historically faced.
