    The Strong Black Woman Schema is the ideal archetype of how a black woman should act, and it is characterized by three main features: emotional restraint, independence, and caretaking. Several studies have found that endorsing this schema can be psychologically debilitating for Black women, contributing to anxiety, depression, distress, and other mental health issues. In this episode of Leah Speaks we look critically at the schema, and ask Black women how they feel about being “strong.” Featuring interviews with Beri Fareau and Shadiamond Walters.
