On Saturday May 14, 2022, motivated by the evils of racism and white supremacy, an 18 year old man drove 200 miles with an AR-15 rifle with the intention to seek out and kill Black people. He shot and killed ten people at Tops grocery store. And then, only a week and a half later, on May 24, we witnessed another mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. This time at Robb Elementary school. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed.

Gloria welcomes Sr. Josephine Garrett back to the show. Sr. Josephine is a Sister of the Holy Family of Nazareth and a licensed counselor specializing in trauma.

This conversation was recorded after the racialized killing of people in Buffalo, but before the tragic shooting in Uvalde. Gloria and Sr. Josephine discuss how racially motivated violence takes a toll on our mental health and why its important for our bishops to name the sin of white supremacy. They also talk about how to protect your mental health, while fostering real empathy and understanding.
