Congratulations, you’ve been accepted to the inaugural class of Therapy for Black Girls University (TBG U). 

Whether you’re packing for a new year on campus, thinking through your gap year, enrolling in a community college, or grabbing your stoles for graduation, embarking on the next chapter of your life is often exciting, but also a little scary. There can be a lot of unknowns that can leave you feeling uncertain and having the right support can help you to feel confident and grounded. TBG U was designed to help you strengthen your voice, sharpen your knowledge, and affirm who you are and who you’ll become. Our goal is to create relevant and accessible resources, content, and experiences to help you thrive at this stage of your life and beyond.

In this first episode of the TBG U series,  we're joined by graduating seniors Jayna Ellis from The University of North Carolina, Chapel-Hill and Kaliha James of Howard University. During the conversation they shared the lessons they've learned over the last four years and how their perspectives have changed throughout their time on campus.
