Published: Nov. 1, 2021, 7:01 a.m.

b"Contrary to what you might think, many of us are living on plantations in present-day. While the plantations many of us occupy look vastly different than our forebearers', white supremacy continues to trap us within violent systems -- and the mental health consequences in our community are resounding. But we don't have to remain disconnected from our needs, dignity, and freedom. Today's guest Dr. Christena Cleveland, a social psychologist, public theologian, author, and activist, will guide us as we explore what leaving the plantation entails.\\nBHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com and share this with your people!\\nPushBlack exists because we saw we had to take this into our own hands.
