At its core, Battle Fatigue is a podcast and safe space for Black folks to be in community as best we can. As it’s often said on the show, the Black experience is specific to the individual going through it, but there are always similarities. In this episode, AJ and Dalin wade into the concept waters of Whiteness and discuss how the institution affects them on a daily basis. Using a little history, a bit of personal stories, and a dash of hypothesizing, the duo cook up some authenticity and laughs as they navigate  their way through the emotional deep sighs that come with existing in White spaces, while being Black. Spoiler Alert: It’s not often easy.
