Dr. Boyce Video — Raising Psychologically Healthy ‘Colored’ Girls

What does it take for a woman to be healthy? This issue consistently presses upon my mind as I think about my own daughters and how to teach them what they need to know about the world. While I am critical of films like ‘For Colored Girls,’ which seems to root every black female problem into the hands of black men, I am also sympathetic to the struggles experienced by black women like my mother, grandmother, sister and others.
I brought in two guests with vastly different perspectives on what it takes to help little girls find their way to psychological and spiritual fulfillment. Similar to boys, mentorship and guidance of our young people seem to be the keys to helping them to become productive adults. Everyone should find a child to parent, even if you don’t have any children yourself. I hope you enjoy the interview.
