This past week, “celebrity life coach” and “wellness expert” “Dr.” Cheyenne Bryant faced public backlash after questions emerged about whether her doctoral degree could be verified. I found the backlash interesting for several reasons. A couple of years ago, Bryant appeared on Cam Newton’s podcast, where her comments about relationships and Black men struck me as problematic, inaccurate, and clinically unserious
This is another great read! It is triggering because ever since we started to take our mental health and healing seriously it has become for sale. The "new cotton" if you will.
But I have to say, the way Ms. Cheyenne is being mocked and attacked is embarrassing to me as a Black woman in the field. How are we about healing, but are literally tearing this woman all the way down? smh. It is really sending the signal that we are not in therapy, ain't been to therapy, and don't plan on going to therapy unless we are the therapist sitting in the seat of "power". But I won't go there. Oh another thing, she is from out here, and received supervision within the community. Imma leave it at that :)
