EPISODE SUMMARY 

In this episode of the Black Businesses Matter Podcast, we chat with Jayla Head, a psychotherapist, speaker, writer, and founder of Advaco Collective Care & Consulting, a mental health consultancy providing compassionate, innovative, and culturally sensitive services.

Jayla takes us back to her childhood, where she grew up as a passionate dancer with an old soul, often surrounded by elders who shaped her perspective and values. From early on, she was focused on ensuring that her work would have a lasting impact on her family and community.

Her journey into entrepreneurship took root during graduate school, where she recognized both her privileges and the gaps between mental health services and the communities that need them most. This realization led her to create Advaco as a bridge to close those gaps, with a focus on supporting nonprofits, expanding access to care, and ensuring knowledge remains central to the process.

Today, Jayla uses her expertise to help individuals navigate uncontrollable life transitions and reminds us of the power of rewriting our own stories.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
