Welcome to Brown People Problems, where your host, Nikita Sehgal, along with her guests chat about life experiences and circumstances specific to Brown folks! In this episode I explore Dr. Gabor Matè's research on chronic stress and some personality features that are most present in individuals with chronic illnesses. I find this topic very relevant to the larger Brown culture. Let me know your thoughts!
