Welcome to My Cotton Patch Moments, where authentic stories inspire growth.

In this episode, I sit down with my incredible granddaughter, Chynna Mills, a 3rd year clinical psychologist PhD student at Northwestern University, as she shares her journey in mental health and her dedication to breaking barriers for Black communities. We dive into her personal experiences of overcoming societal narratives, the significance of community and mentorship, and her passion for working with Black families, ensuring everyone knows the importance of dreaming bigger.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation full of wisdom and inspiration from one brilliant mind.
