Episode #9 Redefine The Mind Ft. Keith Dempsey, PhD

Wuz Good My Peepo?!

I hope yall have been well and everything in your world is goin in a positive direction. I been out on vacation, spending time with my sons, and some time with other friends and family. I have been working on several different projects that I hope to have done in the near future. Some of the things I have been working on is new T-shirt designs, as well as putting together a new exclusive Hood Nurse scrub set. I hope to have these things available soon. I also started school so I could get my masters in nursing to become a family nurse practitioner. I believe I will be able to help more of my people, and provide another solid option for a health care provider. So, with all that ya boy been hella busy. But we keeps it movin tho.

For this episode of The Hood Nurse I got the chance to sit down with a really dope individual. When I tell you this cat is 100% I mean that in the realest way. Keith Dempsey PhD is a brotha I met through a friend who wanted me to do an personal interview for the incoming freshman at the university I went to. I agreed to do the interview, and a few days later I got a call from Keith introducing himself and letting me know he would be the one interviewing me. He asked me a series of questions over the phone, and then asked if I would be comfortable answering them in front of a crowd. Being that I am an open book I went ahead with the interview and it went extremely well.

After graduation I lost contact with Keith and went several years without speaking to him. I thought about him every now and again recalling the interview I did with him. One day I was out at a local market, just seeing what was poppin, cuz it was an all black peepo street market and I wanted to go support my folx. So, as I was walking past one of the booths I hear someone call my name. I turned around and it was Keith standing there. I was extremely happy to see this brotha and excited to talk to him and tell him that I made thru nursing school and got my bachelors degree. He was happy to see me as well, we exchanged a few laughs and talked for a bit and I asked if I could contact him later. Keith agreed to let me interview him and the result was real dope. He  is truly a awesome human and you can feel the spirit of GOD just beamin of this cat. Keith has his PhD in psychology and is also a counselor. If ya’ll ever need a solid cat to talk to please hit him up, cuz it aint nothin wrong wit gettin a little help when you need it.

Keepin it all the way real, in the black community we tend to try to push that conversation about depression and mental health aside. I my self have made the mistake of assuming someone was trippin when really they are suffering from depression. Its real real issue yall, and a conversation we need to bring to the forefront.

I hope get as much out of the interview as I did. Keith is a fantastic individual, and I hope the info he puts up on here will help somebody. thanks for taking the time to check in on ya boy. Enjoy ya’ll.

Love, Peace and Soul,
