Racial Trauma and Racial Socialization with Dr. Isha Metzger


Listen Later

Superhero Isha Metzger, an academic who actually helps people (!), talks to us about racial stressors, racial socialization, and racial trauma, both as a professor/researcher/psychologist and from her own lived experience. If you’ve started to wonder (and I hope you have!) how we should be talking about race with our kids, what to do as a clinician working with people with different backgrounds or beliefs, or how to just stop saying/doing stuff that hurts other people, listen in for some research-backed tips.
