Hi! It’s Terrian & Yana, Creators and Hosts of the Melanated Conversations Podcast. We started Melanated Conversations out of the desire for a sisterly community that fostered positive and authentic expression of our voices on various topics that we experience daily.  

Our stories are not often expressed from our lense. We shift this narrative and amplify our voices to topics with our perspectives in mind.

Our Narrative From Our Perspective

Every Monday, through the voices of guests of the podcast we connect and share our experiences and powerful stories of transformation.

In this week’s episode, we amplify the voice of Lisa Butler. Lisa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice.  For over 20 years she has worked with women and girls to help facilitate emotional healing.  She specializes in mother-daughter conflict, self-esteem, forgiveness, shame and anxiety.  Lisa believes that most of our challenges begin with our thoughts about ourselves, others, and the world.  She uses cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies to teach clients how their thoughts/feelings inform their behaviors and life choices.  She believes that helping people recognize the power of their thoughts is  key to emotional wellness.  Lisa is also the Producer/Director of What's Left Behind, a documentary highlighting the moms/and families of murdered young people in Chicago.  Lisa is a Ford Scholar and a graduate of University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration.
