Makini and Breanna emphasize the crucial need for representation in therapy for Black individuals, driven by their personal experiences and the stigmatization of mental health within their communities. They discuss the common challenges faced by Black clients, including undiagnosed learning differences and the impact of generational trauma, and stress the importance of early intervention and validation.

Both women highlight the normalization of various forms of trauma in Black communities, exacerbated by historical factors like colonization and slavery, and advocate for culturally relevant therapeutic services to promote healing. The importance of creating a supportive environment for abuse survivors and breaking down the stigma around mental health is underscored, with a focus on the healing power of storytelling and social connection.

Additionally, Breanna challenges the idea of predisposed health issues in the Black community by linking them to historical trauma and social constructs, advocating for addressing these root causes through education and therapy.

Breanna Chanelle Phillip is a dedicated and passionate registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist of Grenadian descent with almost a decade of experience working with youth and their families in various capacities. Breanna is experienced in advocating for and with Black youth and families as they navigate systems with histories deeply rooted in anti-Black racism and oppression.
