Description
This week we are delighted to present another special episode dedicated to exploring the lived experiences of people of color with ADHD by presenting an interview with coach and therapist Romanza McAllister LCSW.
Romanza is a trauma-informed psychotherapist and ADHD coach in New York City. She is a mental health advocate and very active in the leadership of ADDA.
In this episode, Romanza speaks about growing up and the challenge of being misunderstood, even gaslit, by those around her as she tried to understand her own neurodiverse brain. She converted her own personal challenge into her current empowerment model of helping those with ADHD in communities of color find their unique authentic voice and recognize and celebrate one’s intersectional identities.
Join us in this fascinating, inspiring and far-ranging discussion with Romanza McAllister.
