About this listen

In this eye-opening and necessary episode of Couch Chronicles, we explore the realities of living with ADHD as a Black person — and how many of us were undiagnosed, mislabeled, or misunderstood for years. 🎙️ The hosts open up about their own journeys with late ADHD diagnoses and unpack what so many in our community have experienced: What childhood signs were missed or dismissed? How did race, gender, and culture mask the symptoms? Why is ADHD still so underdiagnosed in the Black community? How does masking, respectability politics, and perfectionism hide the truth? What does ADHD look like in Black women vs. how it’s portrayed in the media? How do we begin to heal after internalizing shame, laziness, or “not trying hard enough”? 💥 From unspoken struggles in school to misunderstood coping mechanisms, this episode brings vulnerability, validation, and liberation to those still figuring it all out. 🧠 You are not alone. You are not broken. And you are not lazy. 📌 New episodes drop bi-weekly! 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms 📲
