The Journey From Black Victim to Black Victor

I'm delighted to share another episode of Psychobabble with you, the podcast that uncovers bad therapy and false narratives in psychology and psychiatry! This episode is being released a day early due to the Jewish holiday of Shavuot on Wednesday.

We couldn't delay this exciting episode, as we have Adam Coleman joining us—a former IT professional turned influential thought leader. Adam is the author of "Black Victim to Black Victor," a book that addresses complex issues surrounding race, culture, and identity with profound personal insight and empathy. He writes for the New York Post, Newsweek, and the Post Millennial, and has been featured on major news networks, challenging the status quo.

Adam shares his journey from growing up without a father figure to overcoming mental health struggles and building a successful career. We delve into how his experiences shaped his viewpoint on racism, the impact of fatherlessness on his parenting, and how he questions media narratives while challenging the culture of victim mentality.
