This Aint New: Navigating ADHD, Entrepreneurship and Autism_ part 1
On today's episode, I speak with Cara Johnson, the owner of a social media strategy agency, and fellow ADHDer. Unlike most folks I interview, Cara was diagnosed with ADHD over 20 years ago as a teenager. We talked about how she discovered and accepted her diagnosis. We also discuss our shared experience as mothers of Black boys on the Autism spectrum.
Our conversation also delves into a concerning case involving Emanuel Fru, a young Black man who has been indefinitely detained in a psychiatric hospital in Sweden following an Autistic meltdown. We raise the question of whether it's safer for us to teach our sons to mask, for their protection?

Shalisha and the Family Stone
Happy New Year!! On today's episode, we talk with Shalisha, a 15-year veteran of the product design industry. Shalisha is smart, productive, and thorough. She has Super ADHD. We discuss how these traits allowed Shalisha to show up as a gifted overachiever in school, work, and even at home. However, she knew something was lacking in her self-care and decided to look further into her mental health. What she discovered was that she had ADHD.
In this episode, we also discuss the unique challenges of a Black woman within corporate America. From high expectations, with little reward, to monitoring how you show up, it can be a constant dance to be seen and valued for your work.
