Emotional Effects of Racism and Discrimination

Greetings and welcome to episode 4 of Season 6-Racism and Discrimination

I decided to reboot a previous episode on the subject.  As I have gotten older, and maybe wiser, I understand the traumatic effects of dealing with years of unsolicited biases due to the color of my skin.  

In this episode, I describe some horrible experiences I have had with racism and discrimination.  These experiences have been  both emotional and physically exhausting.  The trauma is constant as situations continue to manifest themselves.  I also realize my emotions heighten now that my sons have experienced some of the same slights I have faced. 

I am gracious to have the right support systems in place to help me through many of these experiences.  

As  this is a podcast with a foundation of finance, I will also talk about the financial impacts of racism and discrimination.

As an ironic twist of fate, I have been recognized and requested  as a speaker on the subject of racism and discrimination.

Cheers and Be Well!!!!

See you on the next episode.  


Please feel free to send me ideas on what you would like to listen to in terms of grief. 

Thanks for listening and see you on the next episode.
