Join us in discussing the third essay in Tressie McMillian Cottom's book "Thick" as we unpack personal stories of sadness and frustration due to structural racism and sexism in both "professional spaces" and the healthcare industry.  We discusses the different levels of competence, we as humans struggle to keep up with in a hyper-capitalistic world, and the seemingly never ending struggle for marginalized people. We end the episode reminiscing on the dreams we had as children and some the beautiful moments that have come to fruition from those dreams. We hope this episode inspires you to radically accept yourself as a competent human being and encourages you to hold space in places that would historically not be accepting of you.

We created a free study guide based off the book, check it out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BMjZ8E79G_YTBhuGoK5vVQkxL1BxaNIDPy8r0PA3Ryo/edit?usp=sharing
