Strong BLACK Don't Crack
I am humbled that you have joined me for another episode of The Black Box News podcast.
Strong Black Don't Crack is a facts reporting segment that reveals the true fragility of the Black Woman outer shell. With chronic stress as a silent killer, Black Women are in need of true systematic support rather than simply being praised for their beautiful outer shells. This episode was triggered by the conversations around epigenetics and the affects our environments have had on the body and its health.
