This is a special episode because it is a follow-up from a Facebook live interview I had with Jared Washington a few years ago regarding living with bipolar as a black male. Jared shares how life has been since the interview. We discuss making the decision to live a successful life and being a role model for his daughters. We also dive into the stigma of mental health, especially in the black community and ways to make change.
