Jen talks to the leading expert on anxiety disorders among Black Americans, Dr. Angela Neal-Barnett about some of the topics in her book 'Soothe Your Nerves' such as why the stereotype of a "strong black woman" causes anxiety, the myth that prayer alone should cure anxiety if your faith is strong enough, why joy and music are such an important part of anxiety recovery - and how she tells black women, just like how a hairdresser needs to know how to do black hair, an appropriate therapist needs to be culturally competent.

Dr. Angela says she only wants to promote good mental health but you may find her book here: https://tinyurl.com/4cf3nrfu
