Why We All Need Therapy ft. Dr. Ed Garnes Jr. | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 8
Killer Mike, Dr. Ed Garnes, Bear, and Cutmaster Swiff open up about therapy in the Black community—breaking stigma, embracing vulnerability, and reframing mental health through a lens of Black psychology. From the power of tough love and mentorship to the importance of HBCUs and spiritual grounding, the conversation explores how therapy can become a tool for healing, growth, and redefining masculinity. This episode challenges old narratives and makes the case for why seeking help is not weakness, but strength.
Dr. Ed Garnes:
“Here is the significance of my dear brother Ed Garnes, Jr. and From Afros To Shelltoes’ Sweet Tea Ethics. There is no other group in Atlanta that can bring together such engaged, high quality, and substantial dialogue about the crucial issues facing not just the black community, but also American society. He writes well, works hard and revels in the life of the mind. Thank God for brother Ed Garnes, Jr”—Dr. Cornel West
