60. The Generational Trauma Episode: Simply Existing in America is Giving the Average Black Person PTSD
In this episode, we sit down with DeWayne Anderson, host of the Instagram Live show, Wine Down Sunday. He talks about his experiences with mental health, why it is so stigmatized for black men to pursue self care, and how it is almost inescapable for the average Black person in America to have PTSD with all of the gruesome depictions of Black death and brutalization in the media and our history classes.
He goes into the many things that we need more education about: we need stories of Black flourishing prior to being enslaved, in addition to the traumatizing depictions of slavery and racism in America that are so necessary to spurring us to action. We need to teach about Malcolm X. We need education about mental health services, which he himself didn't learn about until he was 22. We talk about these and so many other things that collectively flow into our understand of generational trauma.
