What happens when the 'Strong Black Person' mask finally cracks? Welcome to Black and Diagnosed , a soulful sanctuary where we navigate the complexities of mental health, neurodivergence, and disability within the Black community. Hosted by Gerron Scott, this podcast moves beyond clinical definitions to uncover the lived reality of what it actually means to be Black and diagnosed in a world that wasn't built for our healing. Each week, we step into the garden to pull back the weeds and rediscover our soil. We’re going deep into the conversations we usually have in whispers: • Depression & Anxiety: Beyond the "Strong Black Person" trope—unmasking the heaviness and finding the courage to exhale. • ADHD & Neurodivergence: Reclaiming our focus in a world that often mislabels our brilliance as "behavioral issues". • Bipolar Disorder: Navigating the highs, the lows, and the sacred work of finding a stable middle ground. • The Identity Shift: Unlearning the shame of a diagnosis to embrace a new, empowered way of seeing ourselves and our heritage. • And Everything In Between: From the complexities of trauma and PTSD to the daily work of protecting our peace in a world that challenges it. We cover the diagnoses with names, and the feelings that don't have them yet. Through intimate solo reflections and deep-dive interviews with those walking the path, we explore the discovery, the struggle, and the specific tools we use to thrive. Whether you are currently "in the fog" or looking for the words to describe your experience, you aren't alone here. Follow the show on Instagram @blackanddiagnosed and the host @gdotscott. Pull up a chair. Take a breath. Welcome to the garden.
