African Americans are 10 percent more likely to report experiencing serious mental health problems than their white counterparts, according to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. The podcast Therapy for Black Girls promotes mental and emotional wellness for African American women. Joy Harden, an Atlanta-based psychologist, hosts the podcast. She joined On Second Thought to discuss her work and the podcast's evolution since 2017.
Harriet Tubman is a hero of the Underground Railroad, and her work with the Union Army makes her likely the first African American woman to serve in the U.S. military. This 5-foot-tall, fierce woman is the topic of numerous historical accounts. The Tubman Command, a novel out Tuesday, uses fictional storytelling to fill in the blanks. Get a sneak peek of the story from its author, Elizabeth Cobb.
