The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

\\n

It\\u2019s the summer of sisterhood, and what better way to celebrate than to showcase how Black women of all ages have fostered supportive, uplifting, and lifesaving friendships? It\\u2019s no secret that over here at TBG, we believe that \\u201cSisterhood Heals\\u201d and today\\u2019s guests are a perfect example of the liberating impact our connections have.\\xa0

\\n

For today\\u2019s conversation, I sat down with intergenerational besties Essence Atkins and Franceli Chapman. Essence has been a constant presence in our living rooms since the mid-\\u201990s, starring in classics like \\u201cSmart Guy,\\u201d \\u201cMalibu Shores,\\u201d \\u201cHalf & Half,\\u201d and \\u201cAre We There Yet.\\u201d Franceli is an award-winning Afro-Latina \\u2018Artivist,\\u2019 using her voice to speak on the need for inclusion and diversity in Hollywood.\\xa0During our conversation, Essence and Franceli share the lessons they\\u2019ve learned from each other as a result of their 15-year age gap, their keys to maintaining a long-lasting sisterhood, and how they\\u2019ve navigated friendship in the entertainment industry. Please note that this interview was recorded prior to the commencement of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
