Advocacy Ain't Easy

Habeebah sits down with Attorney Corey Minor Smith, a mother of two sons, mental health advocate, and author of #Driven, a personal memoir of caregiving for a loved one (her mother) with severe mental illness and the “drive” to propel forward through the obstacles.  Corey shares the challenges of mental health advocacy and the importance of boundaries in the relationship with her sons along with her mother. Corey offers listeners her story (both on the show and a physical book) and how she continues to support her mother despite the complex nature of their relationship as a result of severe mental illness.
