Welcome back to another episode of the Therapy for Black Girls January Jumpstart mini-series. All month long we will host conversations with talented Black women leaders across creative and professional mediums to assist you in putting the “P” in prioritizing your personal growth. If you’ve been holding back on doing you, THIS is your sign to jump head first into the possibilities of a New Year.  Joining me this week to discuss getting started with improv comedy is improv player and coach, Eva R. Lewis. For over a decade, she has been seen performing with several improv teams in the Washington DC area, as well as at comedy festivals around the world. During our conversation, Eva and I explore the mental health benefits of improv, how to find inclusive improv communities in your city, and the ways in which the fundamentals of improv can bleed positively into your daily life. About the Podcast 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.
