Mind of Texas
Host Ike Evans brings you accessible, in-depth guest discussions on mental health in the Lone Star State, with an emphasis on Black and Brown voices. By shining a spotlight on often-overlooked but seemingly-ubiquitous issues, Mind of Texas aims to mitigate some of the stigma around talking about mental health, especially in these historically underprivileged communities.
