This is a vital and thought- provoking discussion. Thanks for shedding light on these issues.
Greeting cousin. I will send this video to my child. He wants to be a psychologist. I feel tjey would find this interesting.
This was absolutely brilliant. Found you today for the very first time, as I run a Women’ Empowerment group inspiring better well-being, confidence and self esteem. The interesting but sad thing is we have the same trajectory here in the UK, among Black people and people of Colour. Dr Sidney Hankerson, you are very rare and thank you for your heart-felt impassioned presentation. A lot I already knew, but some I didn’t. Loving the work you are all doing and God bless as you continue to talk and keep these uncomfortable conversations going 🎉🙏🏾
Amazing presentation.
You are doing a wonderful work. Keep on being amazing.
Churches in the south including white churches are also the bedrock of their culture/community. Why are we looking color?
Thank you.
If it feels good, it is healthy… true dat..!
Thanks 🙏🏼 for doing this interview
Watching from India
I have spiritual experience GOD lights under trees greatest blissful feeling and Akashi record pictures of religions of 🌍 including music Tones that all cultures musical instruments are made about it right is it mental illness reason I have pictures snapshots proof of Akashi record unfortunately I can't record music Tones that I heard sample heavenly music Tone with females singing Voices at that time I didn't bring my smartphone, is it mental illness that's my question ❓⁉️ ok
As a black Christian raised man I have so much curiosity into mental illness .. so much that my faith in god has been fueled by the idea that these disorders/illnesses are underlying spiritual warfare …
Am thrilled.. thank you.
