Let's take a breath. It has already been extraordinarily rough for months because of COVID-19. And now, the pain of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless Black individuals who have been brutally and unjustly murdered due to racism and white supremacy is gripping the US and spreading to other parts of the world. So many are experiencing grief, fear, exhaustion, disillusionment... and so. much. anger. While the gravity of these tragedies and the shameful dysfunction of our culture, power dynamics, and justice systems deserve further analysis (as they most certainly will be), this episode is not to dive into all of that. This episode is address anger itself. Minji shares her evolving relationship with her lifelong anger (or her Korean rage), and how she has navigated understanding its root causes in her life as well as the destructive fallout she's experienced when it goes unchecked. She shares insights on how she has sifted through guilt, shame, and a helpless feeling of being out of control. Most importantly, she sheds light on how she's learning to accept, heal, and channel her anger to be a force of constructive change on the other side of its darkness. Let this be a time and space to work through our chaotic emotions as we reflect on the just, peaceful and safe world we so desperately want to create moving forward. #BlackLivesMatter
