The SonRise Project creator, Kelli Richardson Lawson introduces veteran speaker, Dr. Linda McGhee. She is a clinical psychologist with expertise in young adult and child psychology. In this episode, Dr. McGhee reflects on the devastating murder of George Floyd. She asks SonRise parents to share their feelings about raising Black boys and young men in America. She talks about the severe impact racial trauma is having on Black communities. She shares that people she knows are not sleeping, they're feeling anxious and depressed. However, she says even amidst the devastating effects of ongoing traumatic events, there are also signs of hope. She explains that more Black people are seeking help for mental health issues and more celebrities are coming forward to talk about mental wellness and the importance of getting therapy. She also says more young people are finding their voices, their strength and standing up for justice. She says everyone must look at the broader picture and advance their efforts in every direction.
