Work and Wellness - Season 2 Episode 3
In Episode 3 we talk about Employment and Suicide and the added complexities of being Black, Queer and in the middle of a Pandemic. This Episode gets heavy so please take care of yourself.
WMW is a podcast, blog, and community devoted to Black Queer Mental Wellness and the issues which impact our community. WMW aims to increase knowledge and awareness about Black Queer mental wellness and intersectionality to help both people in the Black Queer communities as well as providers and allies.
