S2 EP6: Normalizing Mental Health in the Black Community with Sunny De Leon

Welcome to The Dope Creator Podcast where we get REAL with your favorite Creators and CEOs.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good sis Sunny De Leon! Sunny (she/they) is a bestselling author, speaker, and coach with over a decade of experience in mental health. Drawing from personal and professional journeys, Sunny champions unapologetic self-love, breaking societal constraints.

Their own mental health challenges in college sparked a mission to combat stigma, seeing how it hindered community care. Exploring identities and oppressive systems' impact on mental health, Sunny advocates for an anti-oppressive approach. With a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and a Master of Social Work from New York University, Sunny brings a robust educational background to their work.

Join us as we discuss the stigmas behind mental health, debunking its myths, and what it looks like taking action behind your dreams and desires.

We also talk about…

• How childhood experiences can shape how we view mental health
• How mental health is a response to living in an oppressive society and shouldn’t be treated as an individual problem.
• How taking action and being ready to receive what we desire requires self-awareness and strategic planning.
• Manifesting our desires involves clearing the way and making necessary changes in our lives. Take action and put moves behind your desires.
• Turning insults into positives and embracing your authenticity
