On “Mental Breakthroughs” host Patricia Wu and guest founder and CEO of Akina Technologies Leigh Butler discuss the unique mental health challenges faced by Black women.
The “Superwoman Schema”
The expectation for Black women to be strong for everyone, can lead to exhaustion, depression, and a reluctance to seek mental health support.
Self-Care
Prioritizing self-care is essential for Black women to avoid burnout and have the capacity to truly support others.
Akina
Akina is a platform designed to provide culturally sensitive mental health resources, affordable counseling, and a safe space for Black women to seek support and break the stigma of mental health care.
