The Power of Affirmations: Is It Rare for African-American Men to Affirm African-American Women?
Show Notes

In our last episode "The Black Woman From the Lens of a Black Man with Special Guest Bishop Rob Wright" we were empowered by Bishop Wright's narrative of the Black woman and recognized the refreshing impact their lives have on others. The question after the podcast however was, why was this type of conversation so rare?

In this episode, we're expounding on how the presence or lack of affirmation from African-American men affects African-American women. We'll also identify a few social and historical barriers for this type of positive dialogue and discuss how we can bravely honor one another and heal.

As always, thanks for inviting and being a part of our brave space. If after the podcast, you are interested to learn more about us, visit centerforracialhealing.org.
