Not available May 22nd? Don’t worry. Register now and we’ll send you the replay link to watch at your convenience.Black women with ADHD often live in a state of high performance and hidden (largely ignored) exhaustion — constantly managing symptoms while navigating the pressure to show up as competent, composed, and emotionally controlled.
This webinar explores the compounded impact of rejection sensitivity and double-masking, a survival strategy wherein both ADHD symptoms and aspects of cultural identity are suppressed to avoid judgment, stigma, or rejection.The session will break down how this cycle of masking starts early, how it shows up in adulthood, and its effect on mental health, relationships, and sense of self for neurodivergent Black women.
Participants will gain insight into the emotional toll of chronic masking; the generational messages that shape how Black women relate to rest, vulnerability, and achievement; and how race, gender, and neurodivergence intersect in complex, often overlooked ways.This session is for Black women with ADHD, the providers who support them, and anyone who wants to better understand how racial and gender dynamics intersect with neurodivergence.In this webinar, you will learn:Have a question for our expert? There will be an opportunity to post questions for the presenter during the live webinar.Diane Miller, Psy.
