EP. 23: Amina’s Story – Bridging the Gap for Women and Girls with ADHD

The Duke Center for Girls & Women with ADHD works to enable women and girls with ADHD, as well as their families, providers and communities – to better understand the unique needs of girls and women with ADHD. By closing key information and resource gaps, the Duke Center aims to help individuals seek and receive appropriate treatment, find supportive communities, and reach their full potential.

Check out Kési’s conversation with Amina Sesay, Project Coordinator at the Duke Center, as they discuss the lack of information about how Black women and girls experience ADHD, the Duke Center's current projects, and how you can get involved!
