Emotional Effects of Racism and Discrimination

Real Talk with Life After Grief Chris

Send us a text

Greetings and welcome to episode 4 of Season 6-Racism and Discrimination
I decided to reboot a previous episode on the subject. As I have gotten older, and maybe wiser, I understand the traumatic effects of dealing with years of unsolicited biases due to the color of my skin.
In this episode, I describe some horrible experiences I have had with racism and discrimination. These experiences have been both emotional and physically exhausting. The trauma is constant as situations continue to manifest themselves. I also realize my emotions heighten now that my sons have experienced some of the same slights I have faced.
I am gracious to have the right support systems in place to help me through many of these experiences.
As this is a podcast with a foundation of finance, I will also talk about the financial impacts of racism and discrimination.
As an ironic twist of fate, I have been recognized and requested as a speaker on the subject of racism and discrimination.

Cheers and Be Well!!!!
