About Flesh 'N Bold

This sister and brother doctor duo task themselves with dismantling the kyriarchy in medicine, mental health, and society-at-large. Dr. Nia J.

Heard (PhD) has a background in clinical counseling and focuses on multicultural and social justice issues. Nevin's work centers the lived realities of folx living at the intersections of marginalized identities. These siblings have engaged in cultural commentary since they were in diapers. Flesh 'N Bold will continue those conversations coupled with data, science, and guest appearances. We will make these ivory-tower discussions digestible for the dinner table. Flesh 'N Bold invites you to join the family as we listen, reflect, and challenge one another to enact change one podcast at a time.
