Good Morning Nashville ☀️

WE ARE EXCITED TO BE DEBUTING AN ALL NEW SEASON, DEDICATING THE ENTIRE MONTH OF MAY TO THE BLACK WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY! THE THEME OF THIS MONTH: MENTAL HEALTH & ME ‼️

To anyone listening in today … as black men, we have to really be more intentional behind protecting our black women. With that said … let’s get into today’s first episode for our Mental Health & Me season on the Black Men Vent Too Podcast ⭐️

A native of Kansas City, Missouri, migrating here three years ago, and raised by a single mother that she says “did not play”. We present to some and introduce to others our good friend and sister Mrs. Lavonnda “Mikki” Brown. ⭐️

Being the first out of her siblings to go to college, she originally went to school to be a mathematician. While not taking on that career fully, she was able to learn something’s that led her to working at a bank after graduating from college. She talks to us about going through pregnancy during her 3rd year of school, while working roughly 40-45 hour weeks as well as be enrolled in a dual-enrollment program that had her split between two schools. She gives God all the credit and the glory, and really encourages our audience to walk through their mental health journey with a little more faith. ✝️

But, isn’t it often frustrating when someone will tell you to just “pray” your problems away? For some, it may not be as easy as sending up a prayer, and often times we miss the opportunity to be present by thinking that a prayer is the immediate answer to immediate issues. We talk with Mrs. Mikki about the line between mental health and faith, and how it becomes jaded in conversation with which one should benefit the other. You’ll enjoy today’s episode, take some time to listen to a black woman vent today. ✌🏽
