Black Women with ADHD

10/10/2026

Mental health care that doesn't see your culture doesn't fully see you.

I've sat in a lot of rooms where ADHD care was "culturally competent" on paper. And I still watched Black women walk out unseen.

Competence is knowing the facts about someone's culture. Consciousness is letting that change how you listen, how you diagnose, and who you believe.

This World Mental Health Day, that's the conversation I want us having. And it's the one I'm bringing to the inaugural ILAT Global ADHD Summit, on the panel Cultural Competence Isn't Enough: Why ADHD Care Must Be Culturally Conscious.

📅 Friday, Oct 30 · 11:45 AM ET

Just because you can handle it doesn't mean you have to.

I say this to my clients all the time. Today I'm saying it to you. Put one thing down this week.

I'm bringing this conversation to the ILAT Global ADHD Summit.

FEB 28 AT 1:30pm. And I need you there.https://www.theadhdconference.org/adhdiconnect2026/info
I’m speaking at the ICONnect ADHD Conference and this one is for my people specifically.

“Beyond Burnout: Building Systems That Work for Black Women with ADHD”
This isn’t a talk about trying harder. It’s about what happens when you finally stop running in systems that weren’t built for your brain and start building ones that actually are.

We’re going to talk about why Black women with ADHD burn out faster, stay in it longer, and why it has nothing to do with your discipline or your drive.
And then we’re going to do something about it.
