What happens when the story being told is not your own? When the advice being given is not only unhelpful but dangerous? Join Rosa, Alisa, and Dr. Merary this week as they discuss the issue of advice that misses the mark on intersectionality with Dr. Carey Yazeed.
Dr. Carey Yazeed’s viral blog post, “https://drcareyyazeed.com/the-dangers-of-courage-culture-and-why-brene-brown-isnt-for-black-folk/ (The Dangers of Courage Culture and Why Brene Brown Isn’t For Black Folk)”, discussed the issue of why Brene Brown’s push toward vulnerability is not safe advice for everyone.  
“What is it about being true to who you are? and so that means that we're all different and we're all unique you know, everybody has a different kryptonite, but also everyone has a different superpower. And what works for one person may not work for another person.” – Dr. Carey Yazeed
