Redefining Relationships After Racism
Racism is traumatizing no matter what, but when it manifests itself in your personal relationships, it is crushing.
Dr. Lucretia Berry, an anti-racist educator, author, scholar and mother to three little girls, joined me on the podcast earlier this week to discuss the need to talk to our kids about race before something bad happens, but we also found ourselves talking about how to redefine relationships after racism. It didn’t quite fit with the focus of my first episode with Dr. Berry, but the wisdom she imparted was too good not to share with you.
It’s a conversation I needed to hear, and I know it will help you as you navigate your relationships, boundaries and safety as well.
