BONUS: Black Girls React to The Little Mermaid

<p>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.</p> <p>So many of us have been patiently waiting for the arrival of the live action remake of Disney’s Little Mermaid. The 1989 classic has finally sailed back to the big screen but this time reimagined with a new leading lady, a Black Ariel, brought to life by Halle Bailey. To celebrate the release of the film, we partnered with Valencia Seuell, the founder of Elite 23 International, a non-profit Chicago-based organization dedicated to empowering and uplifting women and young girls around the world to send a group of young lades to see the film on opening weekend. Four of them then joined me on the podcast to share about their experiences watching the film and what the film taught them about life. Today on the podcast I’m joined by Caleigh, Sa’Mya, Ameri, and Kennedee. </p> <p>This episode does contain spoilers so if you haven’t had the opportunity to see the film yet, put this episode on pause and come back to it later. </p> <p><strong>Resources &amp; Announcements</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sisterhoodheals.com/">Sisterhood Heals </a>is now available for pre-order!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Valencia &amp; Elite 23</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.elitexcellence.org/">Elite 23 Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/elitechicago/">Elite 23 Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/valenciathevisionary/">Valencia’s Instagram</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Stay Connected</strong></p> <p>Is there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
