Bonus Episode: Emotional Well-being during Cancer and COVID, Black and LGBTQ Family Lives Matter
Ash and Feather: A Bird/Girl and Her Father's Cancer08/08/20 • 61 min
The Ash and Feather project explores how cancer affects everyone, the one who is sick and their family and friends.... The Ash and Feather story centers the black family, and allows space for that family to be comprised of gay males raising a daughter. It is incredibly affirming to a population that so often has to trumpet for equity and inclusion. In the panel, we examine the intersection of social justice, emotional well-being and mental health. The panel centers Blackness and the strength of Black leaders who advocate for families in medical and community spaces. We discuss coping strategies and wellness tips: whether that be music, spoken word, folklore, creative writing, art – here in all of us, to explore and share as we navigate the beauty and messes of life.
Panelists include:
- Lauren Carson, Director, Black Girls Smile
- Dr. Natalie Kelly, Neuropsychologist, City of Hope
- Ernesta Wright, Director, The G.R.E.E.N. Foundation
