Licensed Clinical Social Worker Dylesia Hampton Barner is not who comes to mind when you think of a psychotherapist. She was born and raised in Portsmouth, VA as the oldest of three children whose primary caregiver was a single mother. The family of four resided in neighborhoods like Ida Barbour and Swanson Homes, urban, low-income communities known as “projects” or “traps.” Dylesia’s passion for individuals from similar areas is a result of the many traumatic experiences she faced during childhood and adolescence that threatened her success, including poverty, kidnap, rape, family dysfunction, and spiritual abuse. In From Where You're From, Dylesia will interview visionaries from marginalized areas about their backgrounds and journeys to success in hopes of inspiring people in and from the trap to also pursue their dreams.
