Can people of color find happiness, even when racism is so pervasive in our communities?
There is no doubt that racism has been the ugly part of our history as a nation, and that we black folks are still seeing the effects of the disenfranchisement even today. However, do we get a say on how we live our lives? Can we be happy, even when the deck is stacked against us? And how do we do that?
Today’s guest is Celeste Viciere, licensed mental health clinician, and mental health advocate, focusing on the black community, and how we can take control of our own destiny. She’s a bestselling author, and host of the Celeste, The Therapist podcast.
20 years ago, Celeste would not have seen herself talking on a platform about mental health and wellness. She thought depression was a white person’s disease. After all, she grew up in a black community where struggling through life was just par for the course. Then, through her work as a therapist, she discovered that we have a responsibility to ourselves, and our families to live the best life we can, from the inside out.
In this episode, Celeste recounts her own struggles as a black professional woman in America, and how she helps others find happiness, even in the most uncontrollable situations, by finding themselves.
Listen for the new ideas that are going to open your mind, to a brand new way, to look at your world, and start creating the happiness you've been looking for.

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.
