(S3 - E7) Break the Stigma - Iyona with Pamela R. Browne
Pamela R. Browne is an experienced mental health professional with over 20 years of demonstrated success as an author, impact leader and strategist. She also is the mental health specialist on board my production team for the world premiere of my upcoming show "Diagnosed." My play “Diagnosed” addresses mental illness amongst women in the black community. The goal in writing the play "Diagnosed" is to bring awareness and hope to a taboo subject. Pamela R. Browne is an intricate part of creating an environment of self-space, breaking the stigma and promoting a women’s wellness for the Diagnosed project. In this episode, we discuss why the mental health topic has been an unmentioned and uncomfortable subject in the black community for so long; how African American women are only half as likely to seek help compared to Caucasian counterparts, and much more. Pamela Browne is the author of “The Power Up Life Boss “You Got This” Journal for Intentional Living. She shares how her book is designed to transform negative thinking and increase or develop a positive mindset through self-expression and self-awareness. (S3 - E7)
