S3 E2 The Intersection of Mental Health & Wellness (IG LIVE)

T.I.P. : The REFRESH Ep 0: B'Day Shenanigans (1st Part)

Episode 0 because that's where the numbers begin. M.P.S. Annual B'day Shenanigans (3.13.22) was a Virtual Celebration hosted on I.G. Live because of The Pandemonium (or whatever they callin' it.) It was the (re)launch of T.I.P... And we're are calling this season The Refresh because the way S. 3 ended, it seemed like a better idea to get reacquainted than just jumping into  S.4, Tu Sabes?/You Know? This episode is guests making introductions into brief conversations about the intersections where they currently find themselves and what to anticipate when the conversation expands on their full episode. T.I.P. provides an opportunity to listen to conversations between MPS and Dope Humans sharing experiences, perspectives, and viewpoints on life through their lenses and at the crossroads of their intersections.

S3 E4 The Intersections of Young, Gifted, Black & Vulnerable

Hey Y’all Hey & What's Poppin' it's Malaika & Amina. Thanks for meeting us at The Intersection. This week we have a special Guest, Lisa O! And here’s what we're talking about on this episode: The Agreements 1. Engage w/us- Comment, discuss, question. We’re here and we want to hear from you.  2. Expect to experience discomfort- Some of the things we talk about are uncomfortable, may require deep thinking and or deep feelings. We invite you to lean into discomfort. 3. Expect and Accept Non-closure- We don’t have all of the answers and sometimes we (and you) may not walk away with the answer and that is ok. Whuchallbeendoing: Lisa: Chillin' Reading: Anti-Diet (Intuitive Eating) Watching:  Down to Earth w/ Zac Efron, Euphoria, Fresh Off the Boat Amina: Booked and busy doing nails Planning w/ Passion Planner Senior Szn '21 Still Reading: Song of Solomon Toni Morrison Watching: Fresh Off the Boat Malaika: Introducing Lisa to spontaneity via Adventures In... looks like hunting for the elusive seeded watermelon and bringing Lisa into our binge of Fresh Off the Boat. This week's we're at the intersections of Young, Gifted, Black & Vulnerable: Lisa and Amina drive the conversation and I navigate. Our dogs are still rude and unhelpful. Yes, that is a phone ringing  because we still have a landline.  We start w/ what Fresh Off the Boat brings up for us. (Is Eddie Huang showing cultural appreciation or appropriating culture?  The difference between warm love, expectations, pressure to perform). We talk about the concept of WARM LOVE as expressed in this week's viral video by @kierandthem on IG.  And what are the expectations for a young, gifted, Black, female/non-binary/LGBTQIA+ person in family, community, and school? And why people don't/haven't taken our need for help seriously.

Is anti-blackness a Mental Disorder? We're upset with how mental health and wellness are trivialized and the disparities in Mental Health Care for marginalized communities. And we spend some time talking about how we are personally working to acknowledge and heal our mental health & trauma.  Where to find us: Amina/choclatgirlwunda- IG [https://www.instagram.com/choclatgirlwunda/] Twitter [https://twitter.com/minabinna35] Tumblr [https://chocolatgirlwunda.tumblr.com/] Malaika Salaam/purplehairandconverse-IG [https://www.instagram.com/purplehairandconverse/] FB [https://www.facebook.com/malaikasalaamHD] Twitter [https://twitter.com/MalaikaSalaam] Tumblr [https://malaika%20salaam/purplehairandconverse-] How to support us: Listen, Like, Follow, Subscribe, Review & Share Anchor  [https://anchor.fm/intersectionpod] Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/2nLrzvCFmaQaqEZaUD9heG] Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-intersection-podcast-w-malaika-amina/id1523592286] Resources: www.blackfemaletherapists.com [https://www.blackfemaletherapists.com/] www.mytherapycards.com [https://www.mytherapycards.com/] The Safe Place [https://www.ilinkpro.me/TheSafePlace] #FreeGrace
