In this episode, we explore the concept of racial microaggressions – subtle but impactful comments or actions that reinforce racial biases. Drawing from recent research, we unpack the different types of microaggressions, from assumptions about cultural differences to dismissive “color-blind” attitudes.

Through real-life examples, we discuss the emotional and physical toll these interactions have on people of color and share strategies for coping and allyship. This conversation sheds light on why understanding microaggressions is essential to creating more inclusive environments, whether at work, school, or in everyday interactions.
