Shane Thrapp, Operations Director for the Men’s ADHD Support Group, is joined by Kristian Moton and Jonathan Greer to discuss their journeys and experiences living with ADHD as black men. They talk openly about the challenges of getting diagnosed and finding proper treatment, the stigma surrounding mental health in minority communities, learning coping strategies and advocacy, and the importance of spaces where people of color feel safe, understood, and empowered in managing their ADHD. Join us for this enlightening, honest, and insightful conversation about intersectionality and authentic self-expression.
