THE MOTIVE WITH MELO EP8 : THE BLACK HISTORY YOU WEREN'T TAUGHT IN SCHOOL.

Hey Besties!

I'm so excited to start this new series on The Motive! I believe a lot of anxiety comes from the unknown. It is always my mission to not only dispel untruths about mental health but about ourselves and our history. I've started to bring in my circle into the conversation and it's pretty much the smartest thing I've ever done. Lol! So you're going to see a lot of these conversations in the new segment I created called "Breaking Bread with Brilliant Besties!" Thanks to my friend
Vincent "Vinzenco" Morris who broke down his historical knowledge like a boss!
