Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health Conversations in Black and Brown Communities with Nikki Walker

This episode contains discussions of sensitive topics, including suicide ideation, PTSD, and depression. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of Are We Well?, host Neelam Chand sits down with Nikki Walker for a heartfelt conversation about her personal journey with mental health and wellness. Rather than discussing her impressive career in public relations and DEI, Nikki opens up about the inner work she’s done to prioritize her well-being, much of which she reflects on in her book, Awareness Put Me On. Together, Neelam and Nikki explore the challenges of maintaining mental health while navigating life’s demands, and how embracing self-care allows us to show up more fully for ourselves and our communities. Tune in for an intimate and inspiring discussion about wellness and healing.

“I think there is a tie between mental health and social justice work in that people should fortify their mental health and wellness when they are working in those spaces.”
