Responsive Black Minds

Creative and community organizer A.J. sits down with Heather Simpson to discuss the effects of Covid and social unrest on Black Minds. Heather believes It's crucial for us to renegotiate our expectations around time, and space to accommodate the present. From self-guided calming exercises to giving yourself grace, it's time to be kind to yourself.
