This podcast is about my experience as a black woman that has navigated around my life with Bipolar type 2 with psychosis(I hear two voices daily). I want to break down myths and stigmas around people with Bipolar disorders. My experience is not the only experience when it comes to black women and having a mental disorder. However, I want to give a platform to people like me to talk about our experiences and share with the world who we are and how we navigate everyone and everything. www.blackandbipolarpodcast.com Donations Venmo:Toni-Wooden PayPal:Antoinette Wooden Cashapp: $Antoinettewooden
