Summer 2020 forced the world to confront racial injustice that's been prevalent in the black community. A year later, what's different? This week, we're visiting another special episode from our archives. Minister, psychologist, and educator, Dr. Thema joins Jeannie for an in-depth look on the effects of lasting trauma experienced in the Black community and how to even begin to address it. Dr. Thema enlightens us on how those who've experienced racial discrimination can live and move through the trauma they've experienced, how allies can transform their stagnant guilt into actionable change, and also how to know to sever a relationship with someone in your life who doesn't take accountability for their racism. Plus, Dr. Thema reminds us how emotional transparency is contagious and creates space for others to open up and why it's so important to acknowledge racial gaslighting.
