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

The 2024 election season is rapidly approaching, and while we know just how important it is for Black women to use our voices \\u2013 and our vote \\u2013 in any election, we also recognize that staying informed can be difficult when the news seems bleak. To help make things easier, we\\u2019re here to break down some key factors you need to know ahead of this critical election cycle. To give us this rundown, I\\u2019m joined today by award-winning political journalist Errin Haines. Errin is the Founding Mother and Editor at Large of The 19th, a nonprofit, independent newsroom focused on the intersection of gender, politics, and policy. She is also an MSNBC Contributor and former writer for The Associated Press, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and Orlando Sentinel. In our discussion today, Errin breaks down the issues that are on the ballot for Black women voters in 2024, how to tell if a news source is trustworthy in the age of misinformation, and ways to stay informed while protecting your mental health & wellness.
