The Impact of Words on Mental Health: A Courageous Conversation In-Person
The double standards used against not only African American athletes but especially African American women and the impact on their mental health. Words have power in our society. The language and views shared by the media and others were developed years ago. The constant battle of finding space in a society that desires to put BIPOC and women in a box that was never created for them to be put in. This plays a significant role on mental health of BIPOC and women. There are several conversations that need to be had regarding the media situation between Angel Reese and Catlin Clark that are far more powerful than these two young ladies.
