So it was one of those things where I was like, ‘Why not? You know what? What do I have to lose?’ As a South Asian, and a child of immigrants, I grew up in a family where we were really enmeshed, and I was always expected to put my family first, even if I had other plans. So going to counseling in college, during my formative years and even just for a few sessions, really helped me self-actualize that I am an individual outside of my family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second time I pursued therapy was after I experienced something traumatic in my early 20s. I was living at home, and I was not in a good place and my parents were as supportive as they knew how to be (which is something I was only able to acknowledge years later). But I knew that I needed professional help and that was really new for them. They immediately saw it as something that was a reflection of their parenting or something that they did wrong and can fix on their own. So a lot of that process was trying to help them understand that what I was going through had nothing to do with them and is not a reflection of them failing me. Unfortunately, it didn’t really end with me getting the help I needed at that time. Thankfully, I had a solid support system outside of my family that allowed me to begin the healing journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I moved to New York a few years later, that’s actually when I sought therapy for myself. Again, at that point, I was privileged enough to be financially independent, to be physically away from my family, and to be able to make these decisions for myself. I initially found my therapist through a referral from a friend’s therapist because she specialized in trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It never really crossed my mind that maybe I should consider looking for someone who understood my upbringing or shared background with me or anything else. I looked at it the way a lot of people seem to look at therapy, which is, this is a health professional.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>They should know how to work with me no matter what. I got lucky and worked with my therapist for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got really lucky. My therapist was really helpful, and I was with her for three years. It was a really good experience for me in self-actualizing and learning to explore my own emotional needs, my own relationship struggles, my own everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we ended therapy for other reasons — I felt ready and was in a season of change — there did come a point near the end of my therapy with her (she was a white woman) where I did start to feel like there was a little bit of judgment and a little bit of misunderstanding about my culture. I would always write it off because at that point it had been a few years and she had helped me so much. But now, looking back, I think that that is what is one of the biggest fears for Asian Americans and South Asians and people of color: ‘Why go to someone who will probably never be able to relate to my experiences and who will probably judge me or shame me for them?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very real fear. And that’s why I think the process of looking for a therapist is really important. It’s really important to be intentional, to be really curious, and to remember that that process is as much about you getting to know the therapist as it is them getting to know you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: What advice would you share with a listener who’s question is: \u003cem>How do you even start looking for and finding the right therapist? We are all unique hybrids and we share our parents’ past and traumas whether we like it or not.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli:\u003c/strong> Unfortunately, finding a therapist is a daunting process. Still, I am a strong believer that therapy can be useful for everyone when you find the right fit. Therapy can be utilized for dealing and healing from trauma, but also it can be used to be a personal development tool. For Asian Americans, especially children of immigrants, a therapist is a great way to learn and build the toolkit for effective communication in relationships, boundary setting, navigating our identity struggles, navigating our learned behaviors and mindsets that might be a product of intergenerational trauma passed down from generations before us, and ultimately exploring the agency that we do have within the systems that we live in and work in and love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get Clear on Your ‘Why’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing people really need to consider before seeking therapy is getting clear on why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Why do you want to go to therapy?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What are you hoping to gain from it?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What are your current struggles that you are hoping to manage after you’ve been in therapy, say, every week for six months?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What is the goal?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I think it’s important to get clear on the why because if you don’t know why, it will be really hard to find the right fit. If you can confidently speak to what your needs are, it’ll be that much more helpful in finding someone who can help you with those specific needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get Clarity on What It Looks Like\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it’s also important for people to view finding a therapist as a contractual agreement. You’re looking for a professional to provide services for you. So the consultation and the first few sessions are as much about you getting to know the therapist as it is about them getting to know you. During the consultation, ask what therapy looks like in the room with them. This will give you an idea of their approach. Every therapist does therapy in different ways. Some therapists might be really engaged, talkative, give you homework, be action-oriented and be more directive. Whereas other therapists may be more passive, not ask that many questions or might focus just on your past and not your future or present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>If you know that you are someone who wants to go to therapy and wants to be given homework between sessions, you want it to be really collaborative, then you can say that. The therapist will say that is or is not how they practice therapy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you’re someone who isn’t sure what you need, tell them that, too!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It’s really important to bring forth all of your fears, or anxieties, or reservations because you can learn a lot about the therapist by how they engage with you about these concerns and questions.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Statistically, the number one indicator of success in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. So, it’s very important that you are comfortable with your therapist. For folks who might have not had a positive experience in therapy before or maybe they had their first consultation call that didn’t really go well, I want to say I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience. I do encourage people to keep trying. It is like dating in that way. You’re going to find people who you might click with just for a few sessions and then it doesn’t feel right anymore. You might find someone that on the first consultation call, you just didn’t get a good feeling. Trust your gut. Trust your instinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If you don’t feel comfortable with someone you’re not going to want to put in the work that goes into healing and growth with that person. And that’s just going to be a waste of your time and theirs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When you do find that therapist who feels right for you right now, it really is life-changing. I don’t say that lightly. I personally have experienced that. I don’t think that the therapist I saw when I was in New York would be a good fit for me right now. But at the time, it was the perfect fit and it was life-changing for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Side note: When you’re looking at therapist databases don’t be scared to look at credentials. There are licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists. And there are therapists with a Psy. D, which is a doctorate in psychology, Ph.D., which is a doctorate in philosophy, or an MD, which would be a psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. You want to make sure that you’re seeing someone who is licensed. I think databases do a good job of screening for that, but I think it’s important because you want someone who has gone through extensive years of training and supervision and is studied in identifying patterns, dealing with mental health issues or specializes in what you’re looking for. On that note, I think a lot of people actually benefit from supplementing therapy with another type of healing, like coaching or \u003ca href=\"https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/integrative_medicine_digestive_center/services/reiki.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reiki\u003c/a>. There is never one way to get the kind of help you want, but it’s more of a matter of not feeling deceived by what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a licensed therapist, then make sure that you’re actually looking for a licensed therapist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Break Down Your Own Stigmas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of the big reasons that I hear people are hesitant to start therapy are the stigma in the community, the cost and questioning whether it is even for you because it doesn’t look like you. So the stigma is a societal and cultural issue that we just have to continuously deconstruct. And that happens by normalizing therapy and mental health care, and by talking about it just in the same way that we would talk about going to go see a doctor when we have the flu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost is a very real factor and I think that it can be one of the biggest barriers to seeking therapy. I urge people to ask for sliding scales. Therapy is a product and it’s a service that you are asking to hire someone for. Feel comfortable asking if they will offer sliding scales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Ask about cost and sliding scales during the consultation process or try to find if it’s available on the therapist’s website.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you have insurance, call to get a list of people in the network (this can also help narrow down the list)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You can also consider finding a new therapist — someone fresh out of graduate school or a clinic that may be a part of a graduate program where the cost can be more accessible.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Also, group therapy can be cheaper and you will work through a program with other people who share in your identity or struggle.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>And then lastly, I mentioned questioning whether it’s even for you. I know firsthand how white the counseling and mental health spaces are. I’ve been in it from all sides — as someone who has seen a therapist for years and as someone who is studying to be a minority therapist AND someone who’s actually looking for a therapist right now. As I said before, don’t assume that your therapist will be more effective if they come from the same background as you, and it’s really important not to rule anyone out because of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All therapists should be curious about how your identity, culture and struggles affect you regardless of whether or not they share in them.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>With that said, though, I know mental health care is such a personal, vulnerable, scary and stigmatized thing still, that a lot of people feel more comfortable when they know that the person helping them or the person that they’re about to share their deepest secrets or vulnerabilities to can relate in some way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Have a candid conversation during the consultation process. Some questions you can ask are:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>How does multiculturalism inform your practice?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have you ever worked with someone from my background?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In what ways have you done your own identity work?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I think in a lot of Eastern cultures and communities where collectivism is a big part of the belief system, seeking therapy can be seen as a failure, whether it’s you failing to help yourself or your parents’ community failing to help you. It’s important for Asian Americans and our communities to deconstruct these beliefs and reconstruct them as therapy not being something to be ashamed of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Trying to be the best version of yourself is not wrong. Seeking support for something that is hard for you is not wrong.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Therapy essentially nurtures a person’s sense of self-help and self-actualization. And this does not mean that you don’t care about your community or are selfish. It just means that you want to be better in touch with who you are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Western style of therapy is called individual therapy, and it’s not always aligned with the values people from Eastern cultures hold. They may urge you to individuate from your family unit, to set harsher boundaries than you’re comfortable with. And that’s a part of the process of looking and finding the right therapist, because there will be therapists out there who will take your culture into consideration, who will be curious about what finding an agency looks like for you within the system that you live in, and there will be therapists who don’t get it sadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: I’m seeing in my social media normalization of talking about trauma. How do you figure out when the practices and rituals are no longer serving you and it’s time to consider therapy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli:\u003c/strong> That’s a very valid question. It’s easy to get inundated on social media, especially with therapists on Instagram sharing all of these tips and techniques and things to consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m a therapist-in-training, but even on Brown Girl Therapy, I try to provide resources and reflections for folks to be able to engage in this healing work on their own. A part of that, at least for me, is because mental health isn’t totally accessible to everyone. I think these resources can be really great for trying to do the work on your own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>But social media and Google are not a replacement for therapy, nor is information on these platforms individualized enough to be prescribed advice for people following them.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The actual act of having that release, building that rapport or that relationship with a professional who is trained in this work is very different. You can find all the coping skills on the internet. But when you’re seeing an actual therapist, you’re learning much more than just the coping skills. You’re learning about where your behaviors stem from, where they’re rooted, how you could change your perspective on certain things, how you can live more and show up more authentically in different relationships, and why certain relationships are harder for you than others. It’s just not the same thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: Do you have suggested language for folks to use when they’re in a session and may feel like they need to advocate for themselves?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli:\u003c/strong> I encourage people to feel comfortable speaking up when something doesn’t feel right, especially immediately in the session. If a therapist says something that made you feel bad in the moment or felt shamed (even if you have been working with them for a long time) it’s important to be communicative in the moment because that’s the only way to really repair that. Also remember that 1. Therapists are human and 2. A lot of the ways we engage with our therapist can reflect how we engage with the outside world, so use that relationship as a practice ground to speak up and advocate for yourself!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also want to remind you that you are paying someone to provide services and if you don’t feel like the services that you’re getting are useful or helpful to you, you deserve to bring that up. So you can say, “Hey, I just want to take a second because you said X, and that made me feel Y and I don’t feel good about that. Can we talk about it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could wait until after the session and send an email, which I have done before. I don’t like to bring stuff up in the moment face to face. And then my therapist had said that we can talk about it in the next session and I appreciated that she made room for it. The one thing you don’t want to happen is you don’t want to not say anything and then just bite your tongue and it becomes something that festers throughout. If you’re not comfortable and find you don’t have that trust and rapport with the therapist and then you’re not going to get everything that you should be getting out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: If it gets to a point where you feel as if you low-key need to break up with your therapist, how do you do that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli: \u003c/strong>I was very nervous when I had to break up with mine. It’s hard. People break up with therapists for different reasons, right? Either you feel like you don’t need it anymore, which is totally OK, or you don’t feel like it’s a right fit anymore. There are other reasons, too, like inaccessibility, which I think are easier because you can point to something and say, like, I can’t access this anymore. But when it comes to the first two, it’s OK if you got such a good experience out of it for six months and then realized you don’t feel good in this relationship anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can be really scary because you’ve been so vulnerable and this person might know really deep things about you that maybe you haven’t shared with anyone else. It can feel even harder because you’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to upset this person,’ or ‘I don’t want them to feel bad.’ Your therapist should always support your journey. What we like to say in the mental health field is, as a therapist, we’re trying to work ourselves out of a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the whole point of seeing a therapist is so that the therapist can help you enough that you’re not going to need to see a therapist anymore. And so when it’s time to end your time with the therapist, it’s OK if it brings up emotions — it’s the end of a relationship. They should never make you feel like you’re wrong. And if they do, then I think that says more about them as a therapist than it does about what it is you need at that moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sahaj Kohli, is a first-generation Indian American and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/browngirltherapy/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brown Girl Therapy\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

What do I have to lose?’ As a South Asian, and a child of immigrants, I grew up in a family where we were really enmeshed, and I was always expected to put my family first, even if I had other plans. So going to counseling in college, during my formative years and even just for a few sessions, really helped me self-actualize that I am an individual outside of my family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second time I pursued therapy was after I experienced something traumatic in my early 20s. I was living at home, and I was not in a good place and my parents were as supportive as they knew how to be (which is something I was only able to acknowledge years later). But I knew that I needed professional help and that was really new for them. They immediately saw it as something that was a reflection of their parenting or something that they did wrong and can fix on their own. So a lot of that process was trying to help them understand that what I was going through had nothing to do with them and is not a reflection of them failing me. Unfortunately, it didn’t really end with me getting the help I needed at that time. Thankfully, I had a solid support system outside of my family that allowed me to begin the healing journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I moved to New York a few years later, that’s actually when I sought therapy for myself. Again, at that point, I was privileged enough to be financially independent, to be physically away from my family, and to be able to make these decisions for myself. I initially found my therapist through a referral from a friend’s therapist because she specialized in trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It never really crossed my mind that maybe I should consider looking for someone who understood my upbringing or shared background with me or anything else. I looked at it the way a lot of people seem to look at therapy, which is, this is a health professional.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>They should know how to work with me no matter what. I got lucky and worked with my therapist for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got really lucky. My therapist was really helpful, and I was with her for three years. It was a really good experience for me in self-actualizing and learning to explore my own emotional needs, my own relationship struggles, my own everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While we ended therapy for other reasons — I felt ready and was in a season of change — there did come a point near the end of my therapy with her (she was a white woman) where I did start to feel like there was a little bit of judgment and a little bit of misunderstanding about my culture. I would always write it off because at that point it had been a few years and she had helped me so much. But now, looking back, I think that that is what is one of the biggest fears for Asian Americans and South Asians and people of color: ‘Why go to someone who will probably never be able to relate to my experiences and who will probably judge me or shame me for them?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a very real fear. And that’s why I think the process of looking for a therapist is really important. It’s really important to be intentional, to be really curious, and to remember that that process is as much about you getting to know the therapist as it is them getting to know you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: What advice would you share with a listener who’s question is: \u003cem>How do you even start looking for and finding the right therapist? We are all unique hybrids and we share our parents’ past and traumas whether we like it or not.\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli:\u003c/strong> Unfortunately, finding a therapist is a daunting process. Still, I am a strong believer that therapy can be useful for everyone when you find the right fit. Therapy can be utilized for dealing and healing from trauma, but also it can be used to be a personal development tool. For Asian Americans, especially children of immigrants, a therapist is a great way to learn and build the toolkit for effective communication in relationships, boundary setting, navigating our identity struggles, navigating our learned behaviors and mindsets that might be a product of intergenerational trauma passed down from generations before us, and ultimately exploring the agency that we do have within the systems that we live in and work in and love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get Clear on Your ‘Why’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing people really need to consider before seeking therapy is getting clear on why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Why do you want to go to therapy?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What are you hoping to gain from it?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What are your current struggles that you are hoping to manage after you’ve been in therapy, say, every week for six months?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What is the goal?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I think it’s important to get clear on the why because if you don’t know why, it will be really hard to find the right fit. If you can confidently speak to what your needs are, it’ll be that much more helpful in finding someone who can help you with those specific needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Get Clarity on What It Looks Like\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it’s also important for people to view finding a therapist as a contractual agreement. You’re looking for a professional to provide services for you. So the consultation and the first few sessions are as much about you getting to know the therapist as it is about them getting to know you. During the consultation, ask what therapy looks like in the room with them. This will give you an idea of their approach. Every therapist does therapy in different ways. Some therapists might be really engaged, talkative, give you homework, be action-oriented and be more directive. Whereas other therapists may be more passive, not ask that many questions or might focus just on your past and not your future or present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>If you know that you are someone who wants to go to therapy and wants to be given homework between sessions, you want it to be really collaborative, then you can say that. The therapist will say that is or is not how they practice therapy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you’re someone who isn’t sure what you need, tell them that, too!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It’s really important to bring forth all of your fears, or anxieties, or reservations because you can learn a lot about the therapist by how they engage with you about these concerns and questions.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Statistically, the number one indicator of success in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. So, it’s very important that you are comfortable with your therapist. For folks who might have not had a positive experience in therapy before or maybe they had their first consultation call that didn’t really go well, I want to say I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience. I do encourage people to keep trying. It is like dating in that way. You’re going to find people who you might click with just for a few sessions and then it doesn’t feel right anymore. You might find someone that on the first consultation call, you just didn’t get a good feeling. Trust your gut. Trust your instinct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And that’s just going to be a waste of your time and theirs.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When you do find that therapist who feels right for you right now, it really is life-changing. I don’t say that lightly. I personally have experienced that. I don’t think that the therapist I saw when I was in New York would be a good fit for me right now. But at the time, it was the perfect fit and it was life-changing for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Side note: When you’re looking at therapist databases don’t be scared to look at credentials. There are licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists. And there are therapists with a Psy. D, which is a doctorate in psychology, Ph.D., which is a doctorate in philosophy, or an MD, which would be a psychiatrist who can prescribe medication. You want to make sure that you’re seeing someone who is licensed. I think databases do a good job of screening for that, but I think it’s important because you want someone who has gone through extensive years of training and supervision and is studied in identifying patterns, dealing with mental health issues or specializes in what you’re looking for. On that note, I think a lot of people actually benefit from supplementing therapy with another type of healing, like coaching or \u003ca href=\"https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/integrative_medicine_digestive_center/services/reiki.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reiki\u003c/a>. There is never one way to get the kind of help you want, but it’s more of a matter of not feeling deceived by what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a licensed therapist, then make sure that you’re actually looking for a licensed therapist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Break Down Your Own Stigmas\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three of the big reasons that I hear people are hesitant to start therapy are the stigma in the community, the cost and questioning whether it is even for you because it doesn’t look like you. So the stigma is a societal and cultural issue that we just have to continuously deconstruct. And that happens by normalizing therapy and mental health care, and by talking about it just in the same way that we would talk about going to go see a doctor when we have the flu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cost is a very real factor and I think that it can be one of the biggest barriers to seeking therapy. I urge people to ask for sliding scales. Therapy is a product and it’s a service that you are asking to hire someone for. Feel comfortable asking if they will offer sliding scales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Ask about cost and sliding scales during the consultation process or try to find if it’s available on the therapist’s website.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>If you have insurance, call to get a list of people in the network (this can also help narrow down the list)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>You can also consider finding a new therapist — someone fresh out of graduate school or a clinic that may be a part of a graduate program where the cost can be more accessible.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Also, group therapy can be cheaper and you will work through a program with other people who share in your identity or struggle.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>And then lastly, I mentioned questioning whether it’s even for you. I know firsthand how white the counseling and mental health spaces are. I’ve been in it from all sides — as someone who has seen a therapist for years and as someone who is studying to be a minority therapist AND someone who’s actually looking for a therapist right now. As I said before, don’t assume that your therapist will be more effective if they come from the same background as you, and it’s really important not to rule anyone out because of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>All therapists should be curious about how your identity, culture and struggles affect you regardless of whether or not they share in them.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>With that said, though, I know mental health care is such a personal, vulnerable, scary and stigmatized thing still, that a lot of people feel more comfortable when they know that the person helping them or the person that they’re about to share their deepest secrets or vulnerabilities to can relate in some way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Have a candid conversation during the consultation process. Some questions you can ask are:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>How does multiculturalism inform your practice?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Have you ever worked with someone from my background?\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In what ways have you done your own identity work?\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>I think in a lot of Eastern cultures and communities where collectivism is a big part of the belief system, seeking therapy can be seen as a failure, whether it’s you failing to help yourself or your parents’ community failing to help you. It’s important for Asian Americans and our communities to deconstruct these beliefs and reconstruct them as therapy not being something to be ashamed of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Trying to be the best version of yourself is not wrong. Seeking support for something that is hard for you is not wrong.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Therapy essentially nurtures a person’s sense of self-help and self-actualization. And this does not mean that you don’t care about your community or are selfish. It just means that you want to be better in touch with who you are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Western style of therapy is called individual therapy, and it’s not always aligned with the values people from Eastern cultures hold. They may urge you to individuate from your family unit, to set harsher boundaries than you’re comfortable with. And that’s a part of the process of looking and finding the right therapist, because there will be therapists out there who will take your culture into consideration, who will be curious about what finding an agency looks like for you within the system that you live in, and there will be therapists who don’t get it sadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: I’m seeing in my social media normalization of talking about trauma. How do you figure out when the practices and rituals are no longer serving you and it’s time to consider therapy?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli:\u003c/strong> That’s a very valid question. It’s easy to get inundated on social media, especially with therapists on Instagram sharing all of these tips and techniques and things to consider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m a therapist-in-training, but even on Brown Girl Therapy, I try to provide resources and reflections for folks to be able to engage in this healing work on their own. A part of that, at least for me, is because mental health isn’t totally accessible to everyone. I think these resources can be really great for trying to do the work on your own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>But social media and Google are not a replacement for therapy, nor is information on these platforms individualized enough to be prescribed advice for people following them.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The actual act of having that release, building that rapport or that relationship with a professional who is trained in this work is very different. You can find all the coping skills on the internet. But when you’re seeing an actual therapist, you’re learning much more than just the coping skills. You’re learning about where your behaviors stem from, where they’re rooted, how you could change your perspective on certain things, how you can live more and show up more authentically in different relationships, and why certain relationships are harder for you than others. It’s just not the same thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: Do you have suggested language for folks to use when they’re in a session and may feel like they need to advocate for themselves?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli:\u003c/strong> I encourage people to feel comfortable speaking up when something doesn’t feel right, especially immediately in the session. If a therapist says something that made you feel bad in the moment or felt shamed (even if you have been working with them for a long time) it’s important to be communicative in the moment because that’s the only way to really repair that. Also remember that 1. Therapists are human and 2. A lot of the ways we engage with our therapist can reflect how we engage with the outside world, so use that relationship as a practice ground to speak up and advocate for yourself!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also want to remind you that you are paying someone to provide services and if you don’t feel like the services that you’re getting are useful or helpful to you, you deserve to bring that up. So you can say, “Hey, I just want to take a second because you said X, and that made me feel Y and I don’t feel good about that. Can we talk about it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You could wait until after the session and send an email, which I have done before. I don’t like to bring stuff up in the moment face to face. And then my therapist had said that we can talk about it in the next session and I appreciated that she made room for it. The one thing you don’t want to happen is you don’t want to not say anything and then just bite your tongue and it becomes something that festers throughout. If you’re not comfortable and find you don’t have that trust and rapport with the therapist and then you’re not going to get everything that you should be getting out of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mendoza: If it gets to a point where you feel as if you low-key need to break up with your therapist, how do you do that? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kohli: \u003c/strong>I was very nervous when I had to break up with mine. It’s hard. People break up with therapists for different reasons, right? Either you feel like you don’t need it anymore, which is totally OK, or you don’t feel like it’s a right fit anymore. There are other reasons, too, like inaccessibility, which I think are easier because you can point to something and say, like, I can’t access this anymore. But when it comes to the first two, it’s OK if you got such a good experience out of it for six months and then realized you don’t feel good in this relationship anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can be really scary because you’ve been so vulnerable and this person might know really deep things about you that maybe you haven’t shared with anyone else. It can feel even harder because you’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to upset this person,’ or ‘I don’t want them to feel bad.’ Your therapist should always support your journey. What we like to say in the mental health field is, as a therapist, we’re trying to work ourselves out of a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the whole point of seeing a therapist is so that the therapist can help you enough that you’re not going to need to see a therapist anymore. And so when it’s time to end your time with the therapist, it’s OK if it brings up emotions — it’s the end of a relationship. They should never make you feel like you’re wrong. And if they do, then I think that says more about them as a therapist than it does about what it is you need at that moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sahaj Kohli, is a first-generation Indian American and founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/browngirltherapy/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brown Girl Therapy\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For our last episode of the season we talk with two authors who are passing on the wisdom of the great icons \u003ca href=\"https://brucelee.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruce Lee\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fridakahlo.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frida Kahlo\u003c/a> to teach us what we’re capable of. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ariannagdavis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arianna Davis\u003c/a> is the author of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781541646322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What Would Frida Do? A Guide to Living Boldly\u003c/a>,” the digital director of Oprah Magazine and a self-proclaimed \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sun-sentinel.com/barrio-logan-celebrates-artist-frida-kahlos-112th-birthday-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Friducha\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. Images of Frida Kahlo have been heavily commercialized, but Davis believes there is much to learn from her that can inspire us in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The book is not meant to be a blueprint of how to live your life,” Davis says. “There’s definitely a lot of decisions that I wouldn’t necessarily agree with, but I think we can read about her story, the decisions she made, the way she lived her life so fiercely for inspiration on how we can also live our own lives boldly and fiercely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahlo is \u003ca href=\"https://www.fridakahlo.org/frida-kahlo-biography.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">considered\u003c/a> to be one of Mexico’s greatest artists. She contracted polio at the age of 6, which caused her right leg and foot to grow much thinner than her left one. As a result, she wore long skirts her entire life. In high school, she suffered a trolley accident that fractured her spine and pelvis. She was hospitalized for weeks and had to wear a full-body cast for months. Later, she would not be able to bear children with her husband and painter, Diego Rivera. She and Diego had a tumultuous marriage that, coupled with ongoing physical ailments, caused her depression. One week after her 47th birthday, Frida died of a pulmonary embolism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was hesitant in writing a book about such a big icon. “Even though I am Latina, I’m Puerto Rican and Black — I’m not Mexican. And so I had that moment of asking myself, ‘Are you really the right person to tell the story? Should this be a Mexican writer that writes it instead, especially after all the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/article/american-dirt-book-controversy-explained.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">‘American Dirt’\u003c/a> drama?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for Davis, Frida is a shared icon for all Latinx people, and so she made sure to do as much research when writing the book, including traveling to Mexico City where Frida was born and raised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I’m Black and Puerto Rican and growing up as a Latina, I think Frida is one of those icons, one of those faces that you just know of. She overcame so many obstacles while being proudly feminist, being proudly Mexican, being proudly queer. And this was all in the 1920s and ’30s. So for me, seeing the Frida movie and learning more about her story really sparked this fascination that kind of eventually became an obsession.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The biggest lesson Davis has walked away with is one of Frida’s famous phrases, “Viva la Vida,” which means live your life or long live life. Davis feels Frida knew the end was near after Frida’s leg was amputated. Then Frida painted watermelons with a message — Viva la Vida. Davis gets goosebumps every time she remembers this phrase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that she had every obstacle you could possibly think of in the end, she still had this positive outlook of you need to live your life and live it to the fullest,” says Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another iconic figure that worked through his own pain to build a legacy and impart life lessons that still resonate today is \u003ca href=\"https://brucelee.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruce Lee\u003c/a>. His daughter Shannon Lee joined host Tonya Mosley to talk about her new book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250206688\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Be Water My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee.\u003c/a>” Before Bruce Lee, modern society did not \u003ca href=\"https://blackbeltmag.com/the-bruce-lee-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">combine philosophy and art with sport\u003c/a>. That is part of what makes Bruce Lee iconic — and like Frida Kahlo — a timeless figure that we are continually learning from decades after their deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shannon was only 4 years old when her father died, and now she is the “keeper of the flame” running the family business and keeping his legacy alive. She’s heard many stories about her father through the lens of others and family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody has sort of this picture of him, and look, we all romanticize who we think our parents are when we’re young,” says Shannon. “It’s not to say that I haven’t done that at points in my life. But because of the purity of my sense of him, I’m able to look at him and go, ‘Oh, yeah, I see. That’s where he was, being a real human being.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order for Shannon to write this book, she had to work through the loss of her father, the loss of her brother, and her own feelings of fear and paralysis around being Bruce Lee’s daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a seeker similar to him, so he and I meet in that way,” says Shannon. “It took me time to get to a place where I’d been looking after his legacy for long enough that I was starting to feel confident that I was maturing as a human being, learning from my mistakes, gaining more confidence that I was sitting for longer and longer periods of time, breaking down his philosophies, applying them to him, to myself, that it finally the time was just right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bruce Lee: “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless. Like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Similar to Frida Kahlo’s famous phrase, Bruce Lee is known for “Be Water My Friend,” a concept behind the notion of being like water. Shannon calls this the “water way.” “Water is essential, to life, to growth. It’s essential in and of itself, she says. “And so for me, that speaks to the idea of returning to my own essential nature, discovering what that is and trying as best as possible to live.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce Lee severely injured his back in early 1970 and was told that he may never walk normally again, let alone do martial arts. He lived the rest of his life with back pain that he had to care for in order to live the life he wanted, in order to accomplish the things he wanted to accomplish, and be the heroic character we watched in his films. The lesson, says Shannon, is that “if we can make friends with discomfort, if we can lean into a little bit of discomfort, then we can accomplish more than we thought we could.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Shannon, she wrote this book because she wants people to know the depth of her father’s teachings. “But more importantly,” she says, “I have been so healed and inspired and motivated by these philosophical teachings; and that I know that they can be useful and helpful, and help to soothe people’s souls and also give them some tools that they can craft practices for themselves. I’m not here to tell anyone, this is how you do it. Full stop. I’m just here to say here are some things that have worked for Bruce Lee. Here some things that have worked for me.

Images of Frida Kahlo have been heavily commercialized, but Davis believes there is much to learn from her that can inspire us in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The book is not meant to be a blueprint of how to live your life,” Davis says. “There’s definitely a lot of decisions that I wouldn’t necessarily agree with, but I think we can read about her story, the decisions she made, the way she lived her life so fiercely for inspiration on how we can also live our own lives boldly and fiercely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahlo is \u003ca href=\"https://www.fridakahlo.org/frida-kahlo-biography.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">considered\u003c/a> to be one of Mexico’s greatest artists. She contracted polio at the age of 6, which caused her right leg and foot to grow much thinner than her left one. As a result, she wore long skirts her entire life. In high school, she suffered a trolley accident that fractured her spine and pelvis. She was hospitalized for weeks and had to wear a full-body cast for months. Later, she would not be able to bear children with her husband and painter, Diego Rivera. She and Diego had a tumultuous marriage that, coupled with ongoing physical ailments, caused her depression. One week after her 47th birthday, Frida died of a pulmonary embolism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis was hesitant in writing a book about such a big icon. “Even though I am Latina, I’m Puerto Rican and Black — I’m not Mexican. And so I had that moment of asking myself, ‘Are you really the right person to tell the story? Should this be a Mexican writer that writes it instead, especially after all the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vulture.com/article/american-dirt-book-controversy-explained.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">‘American Dirt’\u003c/a> drama?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She overcame so many obstacles while being proudly feminist, being proudly Mexican, being proudly queer. And this was all in the 1920s and ’30s. So for me, seeing the Frida movie and learning more about her story really sparked this fascination that kind of eventually became an obsession.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The biggest lesson Davis has walked away with is one of Frida’s famous phrases, “Viva la Vida,” which means live your life or long live life. Davis feels Frida knew the end was near after Frida’s leg was amputated. Then Frida painted watermelons with a message — Viva la Vida. Davis gets goosebumps every time she remembers this phrase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that she had every obstacle you could possibly think of in the end, she still had this positive outlook of you need to live your life and live it to the fullest,” says Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another iconic figure that worked through his own pain to build a legacy and impart life lessons that still resonate today is \u003ca href=\"https://brucelee.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruce Lee\u003c/a>. His daughter Shannon Lee joined host Tonya Mosley to talk about her new book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250206688\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Be Water My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee.\u003c/a>” Before Bruce Lee, modern society did not \u003ca href=\"https://blackbeltmag.com/the-bruce-lee-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">combine philosophy and art with sport\u003c/a>. That is part of what makes Bruce Lee iconic — and like Frida Kahlo — a timeless figure that we are continually learning from decades after their deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shannon was only 4 years old when her father died, and now she is the “keeper of the flame” running the family business and keeping his legacy alive. She’s heard many stories about her father through the lens of others and family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody has sort of this picture of him, and look, we all romanticize who we think our parents are when we’re young,” says Shannon. “It’s not to say that I haven’t done that at points in my life. But because of the purity of my sense of him, I’m able to look at him and go, ‘Oh, yeah, I see. That’s where he was, being a real human being.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order for Shannon to write this book, she had to work through the loss of her father, the loss of her brother, and her own feelings of fear and paralysis around being Bruce Lee’s daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a seeker similar to him, so he and I meet in that way,” says Shannon. “It took me time to get to a place where I’d been looking after his legacy for long enough that I was starting to feel confident that I was maturing as a human being, learning from my mistakes, gaining more confidence that I was sitting for longer and longer periods of time, breaking down his philosophies, applying them to him, to myself, that it finally the time was just right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Bruce Lee: “Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless. Like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash.

So, we brought in some of the most dynamic voices of our time and asked one simple question: \u003cstrong>“What’s the world you’re fighting for?”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of their answers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“I’m fighting for a world where people of color don’t need to work twice as hard to be seen as less than equal. I’m fighting for a world where we all have a future that’ll not be filled with floods, hurricanes and fires. I’m fighting for a world where we can heal from white supremacy and colonialism.” —\u003c/em> Althea Mitchell, member of \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RadicalMonarchs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Radical Monarchs\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“So a world that I’m fighting for is for a world that has systemic and interpersonal solidarity in action. Growing up in San Diego, California I didn’t see myself reflected in the curriculum. In middle school moving to Ohio, I didn’t see myself reflected in the curriculum. Moving to Indianapolis, when I first taught, I didn’t see myself in the curriculum. And then when I moved to Boston to go to grad school at Harvard, that’s the first time I saw myself in the curriculum taking an ethnic studies graduate course taught by Dr. Christina Villarreal. She exposed me to cross coalitional movements. So today I’m fighting for our voice being unapologetically in the curriculum, being present.

Growing up in San Diego, California I didn’t see myself reflected in the curriculum. In middle school moving to Ohio, I didn’t see myself reflected in the curriculum. Moving to Indianapolis, when I first taught, I didn’t see myself in the curriculum. And then when I moved to Boston to go to grad school at Harvard, that’s the first time I saw myself in the curriculum taking an ethnic studies graduate course taught by Dr. Christina Villarreal. She exposed me to cross coalitional movements. So today I’m fighting for our voice being unapologetically in the curriculum, being present. And I want to make sure that we’re not omitted from the conversation, because when we’re omitted from the conversation, we are still fighting the same battles of lack of representation, of lack of resource s or a lack of radical imagination as templates for us to see ourselves as the leaders we were born to be.”\u003c/em> — \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/tonyrosaspeaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tony DelaRosa\u003c/a>, Filipinx activist, poet and manager of teacher leadership development of Teach For America in Miami\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We get questions from our listeners all the time, but we can’t answer them all in our podcast. So we are trying something new by introducing our new column, “Conversations with Wise Ones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our first conversation is about Filipinx History Month and doing our part to support Black Lives Matter. We talked with author, psychologist and professor \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kevinnadal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Nadal\u003c/a>. He is an activist whose research focuses on how discrimination impacts the mental health of people of color and LGBTQ+ people. While taking care of his toddler, Nadal joined Truth Be Told engagement producer, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IsabethKahlo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Isabeth Mendoza\u003c/a>, for a conversation on why Filipinxs and Filipino Americans are in a unique position to be co-conspirators in the fight for racial justice. We talked about colonialism, call-out culture and what’s on the other side of decolonization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. The terms Filipino, Filinpinx and Filipino American are used in this interview to refer to the diverse community with ties to the Philippines living in the United States. Scroll to the bottom of the story for a glossary of helpful terms.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Listener Question: How can the Filipinx community support Black Lives Matter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Isabeth Mendoza: In these past few months, many Filipinxs have reflected on the times we didn’t speak up when we experienced or witnessed racism. How do you find resolution from the explicit and implicit acts rooted in anti-Blackness? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kevin Nadal:\u003c/strong> Personally I try not to live in regrets, but to live in lessons and reflection in order to move forward. The times you regret, ask yourself, “What is the lesson involved?” How can you move forward if there are times that you didn’t speak up in the past? Are there ways that you can correct that? There may be opportunities to go back to certain people if they’re in your life to re-approach them. For example, ‘You remember that time in 2012 when I said this or I didn’t say anything?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In situations where you don’t know those people or where the situation would be difficult to correct, it may be impossible. So this is where you have to reflect and make it right in other ways. How can you use that guilt, shame or anxiety to make things better? How can you then make sure that the next time a similar situation happens, you can hold yourself accountable? The past can illuminate some needed healing so in that case ask yourself, “Why am I doing this? Is it really for them or you?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC1201103023&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What makes a good co-conspirator in the fight against racism? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Self-awareness and self-care. I think if you are somebody who is not aware of your strengths, limitations, areas for improvement, traumas or triggers, then it’s going to be really hard for you to be the best accomplice, co-conspirator or revolutionary that you can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you’re trying to spread the news of social justice and you can be triggered in an argument and lash out, you’re not being as effective as if you have been able to manage some of your own emotions and work through some of your traumas. [aside postid=’arts_13882499′]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, caring for your health is important because sometimes we get so caught up in whatever is happening that our emotions are heightened. Our bodies get tired. For example, if you are continuing to go to actions and you’re tired or severely depressed, going to those actions might be less healing and more triggering. I think passion and drive is really important, but when it starts to take over your body, you need to rest. You don’t need to go to every single action. We need to work as a team where some people go to some actions, some people are resting and when they’re resting they’re sitting by their phones in case people get into trouble. That’s activism. There are so many ways that we can be activists. There isn’t just one way, and one type of activism isn’t necessarily better than the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC7533371786&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think dealing with colonialism affects being a co-conspirator?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think one of the reasons why Filipinos might have difficulty being activists and revolutionaries is because of colonial mentality, which stems from more than 400 years of colonialism by Spain and the United States. Because of colonialism, Filipinos have learned to denigrate parts of themselves as being negative and to value more the beliefs and the standards of the colonizer. So if white people and their systems of power teach Filipinos that there are certain things that they need to abide by, then oftentimes Filipinos just abide by it. No questions. And so when we’re talking about things like systemic racism and particularly the Black Lives Matter movement, a lot of Filipinos are complacent because they just believe that this is just how systems are. And for some Filipinos, it’s even worse where they’ve internalized these notions of anti-Blackness and are upholding systemic racism. So believing that Black people are bad or deserving of whatever oppression they experience is failing to recognize the ways that their own Filipino American communities are negatively impacted by systemic oppression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the first thing you’d recommend to Filipinxs who are dealing with colonialism in their family and want to help them acknowledge it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a lot of people, coming to terms for the first time really is disrupting their world, because if they have thought these things for however long they’ve been alive, then activist revolutionaries are really asking them to to change their mindsets about their entire existence, which is very hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things that I encourage people to do is to read, to educate themselves, take ethnic studies classes if possible, read books on biographies of people of color who have paved the way for different revolutions and different movements throughout the years, and watch documentaries. We have so much access to learning, it’s something that we didn’t have even five years ago. Know that you’re not the only one, this is a process that most people go through at some point in their lives—the very process of coming to terms with your identity, with your own racism or internalized oppression. [aside postid=’arts_13881199′]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are older generation Filipino, Filipino Americans who have internalized a lot of colonial mentality and might be set in their belief systems so they have a more difficult time receiving new information. I try to meet them where they’re at. It’s trying to make things relatable to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you attack them in any sort of way, they won’t be able to listen because you’ve broken this cardinal rule of respecting your elders. I’m not going to let elders say outlandish, hurtful, oppressive things. But I also know that there are certain ways I might have to approach them in order for them to hear anything that I have to say. For example, elders may say something that’s anti-Black or homophobic so I might just gently say, “Tito or Tita, I don’t agree with that. And I don’t think you should be saying that, especially around me. That hurts my feelings because I either identify like that or many people who are close to me do.” I have to remember to engage in that approach because that’s the only way they might even be able to hear a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do we keep each other accountable and learning, but also keeping the love we have for each other? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what’s really important is for people to work on themselves first before they start challenging others. And part of that is how people deal with anger or their trauma when they can’t manage their own issues and project onto others. I encourage people to engage in any type of self care that provides some of that healing. For many people, that might be traditional Western therapy. For others, there might be more cultural practices like meditations, becoming one with nature, practicing different types of spiritualities and so forth. [aside postid=’arts_13888548′]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going through those emotions is very normal. It’s something everybody goes through as they come to terms with their social justice identities. It’s OK to get angry. But understand that anger is usually part of something bigger. It’s usually part of some trauma that people may be carrying around with them. That’s also part of this whole notion of historical trauma, where trauma runs through our veins and gets passed down through generations. For example, the wars that we’ve gone through as a people, the centuries of brutality during colonialism, the murders, and the rapes. Filipino people, who weren’t even called Filipino people back then, have been carrying so much of this with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There is a lot of tone policing, emotional exhaustion and emotional labor. What is your approach in welcoming new Filipinxs and Fil-Americans into the movement against anti-Blackness?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, it’s just reminding ourselves that we’re in community and recognizing that there’s nothing effective about calling out people in antagonistic ways. In fact, when we are antagonistic towards each other, that’s really just what that the colonizer and systems of oppression want. They want us to fight. They want us to not get along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, there’s this notion, if you can’t approach a person with kindness, why are you even approaching them? Because that may show that you don’t even have a relationship with that person or you’re forgetting the idea of why you’re even in this work, which is because you want to advance all of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s such a complex issue because some people they say, “We have to call out people.” I say, yeah we do have to call out some people, but for me, it’s calling out people in power, that’s what’s most important. When it comes to people in our own communities who are fighting for the greater good, then that’s where I feel like we have to at least consider being gentler. I say that because I know there are people in our community that aren’t advocating for our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC8787467717&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens after decolonization and unlearning?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decolonization is a lifelong process that you don’t ever come to the end of. I like the word decolonizing because it’s an active process—it’s not something that is a yes or no. What I think is on the other side of decolonization and unlearning is joy and peace, love and self-love. People don’t learn about colonizing and social justice until they’re in high school or after.

In Spanish colonies, with the appearance of the colonists, the land was immediately considered under the control of the colonizing nations.”—Duane Champagne, via \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://indiancountrytoday.com/archive/assimilation-integration-and-colonization-7wy5Jkji8k-drES-ocFfwA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indian Country Today\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Decolonization: \u003c/strong>“Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools.”—Eve Tuck and K.

Following the primarily physical aspects of colonization (i.e. military conflict, relocation, etc.), non-physical methods are applied. These include what could be called mental aspects. Religious indoctrination, cultural, social and economic assimilation are common examples. Therefore it could be said that colonization comprises two primary aspects—physical and mental. In order to be liberated from this oppressive state, the process of colonization must be reversed. That is, it must begin with the mental aspects and move towards the physical.”—Zigzag & Keyway, “\u003ca href=\"https://unsettlingamerica.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/decolonization.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Long Hot Summer ’99\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Internalized oppression:\u003c/strong> “When we accept or ‘buy into’ the negative and inferiorizing messages that are propagated about who we are, then we have begun to internalize the oppression that we experienced.

We get questions from our listeners all the time, but we can’t answer them all in our podcast. So we are trying something new by introducing our new column, “Conversations with Wise Ones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our first conversation is about Filipinx History Month and doing our part to support Black Lives Matter. We talked with author, psychologist and professor \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kevinnadal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Nadal\u003c/a>. He is an activist whose research focuses on how discrimination impacts the mental health of people of color and LGBTQ+ people. While taking care of his toddler, Nadal joined Truth Be Told engagement producer, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IsabethKahlo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Isabeth Mendoza\u003c/a>, for a conversation on why Filipinxs and Filipino Americans are in a unique position to be co-conspirators in the fight for racial justice. We talked about colonialism, call-out culture and what’s on the other side of decolonization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. The terms Filipino, Filinpinx and Filipino American are used in this interview to refer to the diverse community with ties to the Philippines living in the United States. Scroll to the bottom of the story for a glossary of helpful terms.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Listener Question: How can the Filipinx community support Black Lives Matter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Isabeth Mendoza: In these past few months, many Filipinxs have reflected on the times we didn’t speak up when we experienced or witnessed racism. How do you find resolution from the explicit and implicit acts rooted in anti-Blackness? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kevin Nadal:\u003c/strong> Personally I try not to live in regrets, but to live in lessons and reflection in order to move forward. The times you regret, ask yourself, “What is the lesson involved?” How can you move forward if there are times that you didn’t speak up in the past? Are there ways that you can correct that? There may be opportunities to go back to certain people if they’re in your life to re-approach them. For example, ‘You remember that time in 2012 when I said this or I didn’t say anything?’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So this is where you have to reflect and make it right in other ways. How can you use that guilt, shame or anxiety to make things better? How can you then make sure that the next time a similar situation happens, you can hold yourself accountable? The past can illuminate some needed healing so in that case ask yourself, “Why am I doing this?

Our bodies get tired. For example, if you are continuing to go to actions and you’re tired or severely depressed, going to those actions might be less healing and more triggering. I think passion and drive is really important, but when it starts to take over your body, you need to rest. You don’t need to go to every single action. We need to work as a team where some people go to some actions, some people are resting and when they’re resting they’re sitting by their phones in case people get into trouble. That’s activism. There are so many ways that we can be activists. There isn’t just one way, and one type of activism isn’t necessarily better than the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC7533371786&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you think dealing with colonialism affects being a co-conspirator?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think one of the reasons why Filipinos might have difficulty being activists and revolutionaries is because of colonial mentality, which stems from more than 400 years of colonialism by Spain and the United States. Because of colonialism, Filipinos have learned to denigrate parts of themselves as being negative and to value more the beliefs and the standards of the colonizer. So if white people and their systems of power teach Filipinos that there are certain things that they need to abide by, then oftentimes Filipinos just abide by it. No questions. And so when we’re talking about things like systemic racism and particularly the Black Lives Matter movement, a lot of Filipinos are complacent because they just believe that this is just how systems are. And for some Filipinos, it’s even worse where they’ve internalized these notions of anti-Blackness and are upholding systemic racism. So believing that Black people are bad or deserving of whatever oppression they experience is failing to recognize the ways that their own Filipino American communities are negatively impacted by systemic oppression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the first thing you’d recommend to Filipinxs who are dealing with colonialism in their family and want to help them acknowledge it?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a lot of people, coming to terms for the first time really is disrupting their world, because if they have thought these things for however long they’ve been alive, then activist revolutionaries are really asking them to to change their mindsets about their entire existence, which is very hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things that I encourage people to do is to read, to educate themselves, take ethnic studies classes if possible, read books on biographies of people of color who have paved the way for different revolutions and different movements throughout the years, and watch documentaries. We have so much access to learning, it’s something that we didn’t have even five years ago. Know that you’re not the only one, this is a process that most people go through at some point in their lives—the very process of coming to terms with your identity, with your own racism or internalized oppression. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I try to meet them where they’re at. It’s trying to make things relatable to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you attack them in any sort of way, they won’t be able to listen because you’ve broken this cardinal rule of respecting your elders. I’m not going to let elders say outlandish, hurtful, oppressive things. But I also know that there are certain ways I might have to approach them in order for them to hear anything that I have to say. For example, elders may say something that’s anti-Black or homophobic so I might just gently say, “Tito or Tita, I don’t agree with that. And I don’t think you should be saying that, especially around me. That hurts my feelings because I either identify like that or many people who are close to me do.” I have to remember to engage in that approach because that’s the only way they might even be able to hear a little bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do we keep each other accountable and learning, but also keeping the love we have for each other? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think what’s really important is for people to work on themselves first before they start challenging others. And part of that is how people deal with anger or their trauma when they can’t manage their own issues and project onto others. I encourage people to engage in any type of self care that provides some of that healing. For many people, that might be traditional Western therapy. For others, there might be more cultural practices like meditations, becoming one with nature, practicing different types of spiritualities and so forth. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s something everybody goes through as they come to terms with their social justice identities. It’s OK to get angry. But understand that anger is usually part of something bigger. It’s usually part of some trauma that people may be carrying around with them. That’s also part of this whole notion of historical trauma, where trauma runs through our veins and gets passed down through generations. For example, the wars that we’ve gone through as a people, the centuries of brutality during colonialism, the murders, and the rapes. Filipino people, who weren’t even called Filipino people back then, have been carrying so much of this with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There is a lot of tone policing, emotional exhaustion and emotional labor. What is your approach in welcoming new Filipinxs and Fil-Americans into the movement against anti-Blackness?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, it’s just reminding ourselves that we’re in community and recognizing that there’s nothing effective about calling out people in antagonistic ways. In fact, when we are antagonistic towards each other, that’s really just what that the colonizer and systems of oppression want. They want us to fight. They want us to not get along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, there’s this notion, if you can’t approach a person with kindness, why are you even approaching them? Because that may show that you don’t even have a relationship with that person or you’re forgetting the idea of why you’re even in this work, which is because you want to advance all of our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s such a complex issue because some people they say, “We have to call out people.” I say, yeah we do have to call out some people, but for me, it’s calling out people in power, that’s what’s most important. When it comes to people in our own communities who are fighting for the greater good, then that’s where I feel like we have to at least consider being gentler. I say that because I know there are people in our community that aren’t advocating for our communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC8787467717&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens after decolonization and unlearning?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decolonization is a lifelong process that you don’t ever come to the end of.

What I think is on the other side of decolonization and unlearning is joy and peace, love and self-love. People don’t learn about colonizing and social justice until they’re in high school or after.

In Spanish colonies, with the appearance of the colonists, the land was immediately considered under the control of the colonizing nations.”—Duane Champagne, via \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://indiancountrytoday.com/archive/assimilation-integration-and-colonization-7wy5Jkji8k-drES-ocFfwA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indian Country Today\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Decolonization: \u003c/strong>“Decolonization brings about the repatriation of Indigenous land and life; it is not a metaphor for other things we want to do to improve our societies and schools.”—Eve Tuck and K.

Following the primarily physical aspects of colonization (i.e. military conflict, relocation, etc.), non-physical methods are applied. These include what could be called mental aspects. Religious indoctrination, cultural, social and economic assimilation are common examples. Therefore it could be said that colonization comprises two primary aspects—physical and mental. In order to be liberated from this oppressive state, the process of colonization must be reversed. That is, it must begin with the mental aspects and move towards the physical.”—Zigzag & Keyway, “\u003ca href=\"https://unsettlingamerica.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/decolonization.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Long Hot Summer ’99\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Internalized oppression:\u003c/strong> “When we accept or ‘buy into’ the negative and inferiorizing messages that are propagated about who we are, then we have begun to internalize the oppression that we experienced.

Chideya has a new radio show called “\u003ca href=\"https://farai.com/our-body-politic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our Body Politic\u003c/a>” which unapologetically centers reporting on not just how women of color experience the major political events of today, but how they’re impacting those very issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chideya calls women of color a “superdemographic.” What she means by that is, all women of color are people who can tip elections. “And as different as we are, we are all people who tend to get undervalued by the political system,” Chideya says. “Not hired as strategists, not given the advertising contracts to reach out to voters.” Because women of color are poorly marketed to and a misunderstood group compared to their political power, Chideya does not refer to the group as a “demographic” but rather a “superdemographic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Women of color are the secret sauce. We are the roux in the American gumbo. We are not just the parsley on the side of the plate. We are the base of the plate and we need to be understood as such. And, I would argue, Black women over the age of 70 are the secret, secret sauce.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Chideya believes that America is poorer intellectually and sociopolitically because the voices of Black and people of color have been excluded and censored. “We have to recognize that the act of truth-telling is an act of everyone bringing their gifts to the table and then fighting about how we write the first draft of history,” Chideya says. “It can’t be told by any one group or any one person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Chideya and Mosley recognize that there needs to be a fight for a shared truth in order for a society and democracy to be preserved. Chideya created the term “psychic privacy fence,” which refers to people only being surrounded by others that are like them. “How you live is not the only way to live,” Chideya says. “And if you don’t understand how other people live, you’re never gonna understand America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chideya’s time as a journalist and political analyst made her aware that America was, in what she calls, a culture war. “People’s decision-making was not based on logic — it was based on cultural affiliations. I like to think of elections as this great pageant of national belonging. And in a country this divided, people choose what kind of political affiliation they belong to,” Chideya says. “They will follow that sense of belonging off the cliff of logic.” As a journalist, Chideya believes it’s important to understand this part of the story, and not just the literal truths — understanding why people feel they belong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>If we can understand why people’s hearts are motivating them to act in a certain way, we become more able as journalists to tell the story of America and the world. We become more able as people to have compassion.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>During election season Chideya is usually out in the field reporting and feels more informed about the heart and soul of America. “I do feel a little disconnected from how different demographics of people are making choices. I miss it and also, I don’t miss it.” Chideya says she doesn’t miss the feeling of going to bed at night in a hotel room after a day where she was sometimes sexually harassed or racially harassed while out reporting. But, she does long for knowing what America is feeling. She has stayed in tune by spending time with elders. Chideya has many friends over the age of 90 — including her high school English teacher, Mrs. Louise Sims, who helped desegregate two different schools and has been married for 70 years. “It’s people like her who I look to to fill my soul, mind and heart. So if you don’t have any elders in your life, go make some friends who are elders. And if you’re an elder, find some people who are younger to befriend you. You are needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this pandemic, Chideya has been reflecting on the resentments her family has experienced due to racial injustice. “I’m actually processing a lot of stuff right now like I think a lot of people are, because I don’t want to live in resentment. I want to live in abundance and opportunity.” For Chideya, this process allows her to reflect on her own resentments so she can continue doing the work without the heaviness of the past on her back. What is bringing Chideya joy during these times is being able to spend more time with her family. She hopes to tape oral histories of her mother. “She has many adventures, including being in the Peace Corps in the early 60s in Morocco with her sassy female friends, riding their mopeds. You know, Black women and women of color have been having adventures forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/17ORIqUY7h732doKGBeuzfq-t6abPUGYd/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/farai?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Farai Chideya\u003c/a> (she/her), creator/host “\u003ca href=\"https://farai.com/our-body-politic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our Body Politic\u003c/a>” and award-winning journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Reading:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://zora.medium.com/tagged/whats-at-stake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“What’s At Stake\u003c/a>” series from Zora\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/reports/2019/11/19/477309/women-color-collective-powerhouse-u-s-electorate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Women of Color: A Collective Powerhouse in the U.S. Electorate” report\u003c/a> from The Center for American Progress\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/01/women-of-color-congress-us-elections-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“‘We are living the issues’: record number of women of color run for Congress”\u003c/a> from The Guardian\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/opinion/megan-thee-stallion-black-women.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Megan Thee Stallion: Why I Speak Up for Black Women”\u003c/a> via New York Times op-ed\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/16/magazine/black-vote.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“How the Black Vote Became a Political Monolith” \u003c/a>from The New York Times\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Listening:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://farai.com/our-body-politic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our Body Politic\u003c/a>” by Farai Chideya\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.thebgguide.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Brown Girls Guide to Politics\u003c/a>” podcast\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/music/a34112394/best-political-podcasts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“The Best Political Podcasts to Help You Navigate This, Ahem, Chaotic Election Season”\u003c/a> from the Cosmopolitan\u003c/p>\n\n",

Chideya has a new radio show called “\u003ca href=\"https://farai.com/our-body-politic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our Body Politic\u003c/a>” which unapologetically centers reporting on not just how women of color experience the major political events of today, but how they’re impacting those very issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chideya calls women of color a “superdemographic.” What she means by that is, all women of color are people who can tip elections. “And as different as we are, we are all people who tend to get undervalued by the political system,” Chideya says. “Not hired as strategists, not given the advertising contracts to reach out to voters.” Because women of color are poorly marketed to and a misunderstood group compared to their political power, Chideya does not refer to the group as a “demographic” but rather a “superdemographic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Women of color are the secret sauce. We are the roux in the American gumbo. We are not just the parsley on the side of the plate. We are the base of the plate and we need to be understood as such. And, I would argue, Black women over the age of 70 are the secret, secret sauce.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Chideya believes that America is poorer intellectually and sociopolitically because the voices of Black and people of color have been excluded and censored. “We have to recognize that the act of truth-telling is an act of everyone bringing their gifts to the table and then fighting about how we write the first draft of history,” Chideya says. “It can’t be told by any one group or any one person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yet, the stigma remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week’s question comes from Bri, a recent college graduate living with bipolar disorder and looking for a job. Host Tonya Mosley is joined by Wise One and New York Times Bestselling author \u003ca href=\"https://basseyikpi.com/about/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bassey Ikpi\u003c/a>. In her memoir “\u003ca href=\"https://basseyikpi.com/books/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">I’m Telling the Truth But I’m Lying\u003c/a>,” Ikpi explores her life — as a Nigerian American immigrant, a Black woman, a slam poet, a mother, a daughter, an artist — through the lens of her mental health and diagnosis of bipolar II and anxiety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highs that came with her professional success were manic. And the lows, they were the can’t-get-out-of-bed, barely-able-to-walk-to-the-bathroom kind of lows. At 27-years-old, Bassey finally had a name for this thing that had ruled her life for years: bipolar II disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It feels amazing and exhilarating and you feel powerful, like the most amazing person in the entire world. And that’s a good feeling. But once you stay up there, it gets frightening because there is no down. And it feels like there’s no ground beneath your feet. It is shocking because you’re supposed to feel the ground. It also triggers paranoia and insomnia. People don’t realize how physically uncomfortable it is. There’s a physical discomfort that comes with it. That is what I was hoping to describe in the book…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Alongside her memoir, she founded The Siwe Project, a nonprofit that promotes mental health awareness throughout the global Black community. This made Ikpi the perfect Wise One to offer our listener Bri advice on her situation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“So looking for jobs has been like really hard just because it’s still COVID and like, I don’t really have like an essential degree, I guess? My degree is in English and creative writing. And whenever I get to the ‘Do you have a disability?’ part, I see like all the bullet points; I’m just like…I mean, if you want to be technical, yes. But I always put no. As much as people like to say they’re not going to discriminate against you, they definitely will if they feel like it. I just don’t think people would take it seriously. I think people would look at me differently and treat me oddly. And I notice that whenever a job application is like, ‘Can you do this without reasonable accommodations?’ I’m just like the accommodation someone would need who, you know, wasn’t physically able and versus where I would need are completely different. So for me to just mark ‘no, I can’t do this without reasonable accommodations,’ it’s weird because my accommodations don’t look the same and I think that’s very vague of them to ask people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My question is, how do I, as a graduate who is looking for jobs, navigate my disability and work?”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ikpi herself does not check the disability box. “As much as I would love a world where mental illness was treated the exact same way as a physical disability, it’s not,” she says. “And it’s very easy for people to be dismissive of it.” Despite people’s best intentions, there is a bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Ikpi’s first piece of advice is to get the help of a medical professional. That’s because coping mechanisms function more like crutches that can fall apart because of how unpredictable the illness can be. “You could be fine for five, six, seven years and then just one morning, you’re not,” Ikpi says. She recommends investing time in finding a therapist who works for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A therapist friend says it’s like finding a hairdresser or a barber,” Ikpi says. “You have to keep trying to find the right one, but if you need to get your hair done today then find someone who can help today. There are certain things like emergency situations where you just need to talk to somebody when you’re either a danger to yourself or others. And, you need to talk. The therapist you see may not be the right one, but you’re not married to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding a trusted medical professional would also illuminate what your needs are so you can then communicate to the employer. Or use these new insights in your assessment of the job being a good fit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I understand that feeling useful and productive right now feels like what we need to be doing. If it is possible for you to take a step back and not put so much pressure on yourself to get a job because you graduated, or to get a job because someone is telling you to, then take that step back because there’s nothing that’s more important than you and your mental health.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ikpi’s final words to Bri: “I think that especially Black women, we get so into this excellence.

And the lows, they were the can’t-get-out-of-bed, barely-able-to-walk-to-the-bathroom kind of lows. At 27-years-old, Bassey finally had a name for this thing that had ruled her life for years: bipolar II disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It feels amazing and exhilarating and you feel powerful, like the most amazing person in the entire world. And that’s a good feeling. But once you stay up there, it gets frightening because there is no down. And it feels like there’s no ground beneath your feet. It is shocking because you’re supposed to feel the ground. It also triggers paranoia and insomnia. People don’t realize how physically uncomfortable it is. There’s a physical discomfort that comes with it. That is what I was hoping to describe in the book…”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Alongside her memoir, she founded The Siwe Project, a nonprofit that promotes mental health awareness throughout the global Black community. This made Ikpi the perfect Wise One to offer our listener Bri advice on her situation:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“So looking for jobs has been like really hard just because it’s still COVID and like, I don’t really have like an essential degree, I guess? My degree is in English and creative writing. And whenever I get to the ‘Do you have a disability?’ part, I see like all the bullet points; I’m just like…I mean, if you want to be technical, yes. But I always put no. As much as people like to say they’re not going to discriminate against you, they definitely will if they feel like it. I just don’t think people would take it seriously. I think people would look at me differently and treat me oddly. And I notice that whenever a job application is like, ‘Can you do this without reasonable accommodations?’ I’m just like the accommodation someone would need who, you know, wasn’t physically able and versus where I would need are completely different. So for me to just mark ‘no, I can’t do this without reasonable accommodations,’ it’s weird because my accommodations don’t look the same and I think that’s very vague of them to ask people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My question is, how do I, as a graduate who is looking for jobs, navigate my disability and work?”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ikpi herself does not check the disability box. “As much as I would love a world where mental illness was treated the exact same way as a physical disability, it’s not,” she says. “And it’s very easy for people to be dismissive of it.” Despite people’s best intentions, there is a bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s because coping mechanisms function more like crutches that can fall apart because of how unpredictable the illness can be. “You could be fine for five, six, seven years and then just one morning, you’re not,” Ikpi says. She recommends investing time in finding a therapist who works for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A therapist friend says it’s like finding a hairdresser or a barber,” Ikpi says. “You have to keep trying to find the right one, but if you need to get your hair done today then find someone who can help today. There are certain things like emergency situations where you just need to talk to somebody when you’re either a danger to yourself or others. And, you need to talk. The therapist you see may not be the right one, but you’re not married to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding a trusted medical professional would also illuminate what your needs are so you can then communicate to the employer. Or use these new insights in your assessment of the job being a good fit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I understand that feeling useful and productive right now feels like what we need to be doing. If it is possible for you to take a step back and not put so much pressure on yourself to get a job because you graduated, or to get a job because someone is telling you to, then take that step back because there’s nothing that’s more important than you and your mental health.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ikpi’s final words to Bri: “I think that especially Black women, we get so into this excellence. I tell people all the time, I am fine with Black mediocrity. Black excellence is exhausting. And it is a lot to live up to. So if you’re Black average, fantastic! Let’s do that, too.

That’s what Alice Wong wants you to know. She is an activist, podcaster and founder of the Disability Visibility Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are modern day oracles. It’s time people listened to us,” she says. At the start of the pandemic, Wong wrote a Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFdirewolf/status/1240269719313068032\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">thread\u003c/a> highlighting how the public health crisis confirmed who society deems disposable, unworthy of assistance, attention and treatment due to the rationing and shortage of ventilators for critically ill patients in the United States. Wong uses a non-invasive form of ventilation called a Bipap. Her ventilator is part of her body and she cannot be without it for longer than an hour due to her neuromuscular disability. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Wong was young, she dreamed of elevating voices of disabled people because she did not see them represented in media. This summer, she released a book titled, “\u003ca href=\"https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/book/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the 21st Century\u003c/a>” to recenter the people Wong cares about and that she feels people should care about too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The book was really edited for the purpose of pleasing disabled audiences. I do challenge nondisabled readers saying, ‘You know there are things in this book that might make you uncomfortable. There’s maybe terms you never heard of and that’s precisely the point — to not have to explain it to you because we should be able to present ourselves as we are.- Alice Wong \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Wong joined Tonya Mosley to talk about her book and how \u003ca href=\"https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2015/01/19/disability-justice-and-social-justice-entwined-histories-and-futures/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">disability justice\u003c/a> is tied to the Black Lives Matter movement. “I truly am kind of tired of having to make the case that my life has worth and quality the way it is, just as it is right now,” Wong says. “We really have seen who is valued and clearly Black, brown, indigenous people are considered disposable. Disabled people are considered disposable when we hear the media and hear our elected officials use terms like “acceptable losses” and “high risk people.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong says that although disabled people are a part of every community, white supremacy upholds ableism and tries to regulate what it means to be “normal.” “Everything about normal behavior is very much based on a nondisabled [person],” says Wong. “So when people are different, they navigate through the world [and], they communicate differently. That’s when these points of violence often happen.” For Wong, systems that incarcerate and trap people uphold this disciplining, which is often racialized. For example, Wong points to the many Black and disabled people killed by police and how often, their disability is ignored. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong is elevating the voices of disabled people in such a rich way across all platforms. That is why we chose her as this week’s Wise One.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week’s question came from an anonymous listener: \u003cstrong>“I have a rare brain condition called \u003ca href=\"https://www.aans.org/en/Patients/Neurosurgical-Conditions-and-Treatments/Chiari-Malformation\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Chiari Malformation\u003c/a>. And I don’t know what ways I can educate my friends and family without making them feel like I’m shoving information down their throats. Help, please.” \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiari Malformation is a condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. There are various types of Chiari Malformation but \u003ca href=\"https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/chiari-malformation-type-i\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">common symptoms\u003c/a> are muscle weakness, lack of balance or abnormal reflexes, nerve problems, difficulty swallowing and sleep apnea. Long-term impacts can be paralysis, damage to muscles or nerves, pain and a pocket of spinal fluid in the spinal cord or brain stem. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the biggest challenges for people with invisible disabilities is the fact that their families and friends can’t recognize how serious these are,” says Wong. “Or, oftentimes they don’t believe the disability and say, ‘You look healthy,’ or ‘You look fine.’ I think that’s part of the challenge.” Wong says this is a big source of emotional labor that disabled people have to do all the time. “It’s always like, ‘No, actually this is really difficult’ or ‘No, what you see is not obvious.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are Alice Wong’s tips:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tip #1 Educate folks in smaller doses \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong believes long lectures don’t work but preparing some information beforehand may be useful. Her advice is to prepare a sheet of information in a Google Doc describing your disability or condition. Add things you think they should know about and share the doc. Wong says you can send it with a message that says something like, “Hey, if you want to learn more about what I’m going through and just some of the basics, here it is.” This way, Wong says, you don’t have to constantly repeat yourself and can prevent exhaustion. Another option is when you are having a bad day related to your disability, sharing with a loved one what is happening. Lastly, Wong suggests being selective about when you feel you can take on the responsibility of explaining because it can be draining. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tip #2 Gently push back\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because educating people on your disability can be emotionally exhausting, Wong says you can gently push back. “The information is already out there for the questions that I receive. So I would invite them to do the work because I also feel like this is not my responsibility.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tip #3 Be honest about how their actions are impacting you\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know there are times where I felt hurt or excluded by friends or family members who are not disabled,” says Wong. “And it’s just so frustrating all the time to try to educate people. So at least one of the ways to try to reach people is to really be honest about how their actions are impacting you. Maybe start with that first and then go with the educational piece.” Some suggested language: ‘What you said to me, you may not realize it, but it was really painful and this is why.’” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong says you can also try to get loved ones to understand why they should learn more. She cautions that this is a very gradual process and won’t happen overnight. However, being honest and vulnerable with loved ones is really important. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes disabled or chronically ill people are not at a place yet where they feel permission or okay in saying, ‘This is what I need right now. And this may change in the future, but at this point in time, I need you all to back off,’ or ‘I need you all to stop making assumptions,’ or ‘I need you all to stop feeling sorry for me.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong says there is a fear of hearing family and friends’ responses but part of the process is accepting that loved ones will understand. “That’s one thing about being disabled, it’s almost like a filter where you really see the people who really have your back,” Wong says. “Your relationship with them may change, but if they really care about you they’re going to be with you or just learn to adjust.” Wong also advises letting loved ones know that you are there for them in their learning process. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://shorturl.at/abxEP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFdirewolf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Alice Wong \u003c/a>(she/her) is a disabled activist, media maker, and consultant based in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Reading:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/book/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the 21st Century\u003c/a>, edited by Alice Wong\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mWz84Ro0cq5YEPfg2-gXoR-B-T1fCWEIqz_0yZXs1jU/edit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Discussion guide\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/180BSG2IEZHNOPhp9uH7dG_N6YLe9eNvkeS_ry6tEZJ0/edit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">plain language summary\u003c/a> of the book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/07/9920985/black-poc-disability-photos-jillian-mercado?utm_source=instagram.com&utm_medium=r29somos&utm_campaign=planoly\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">I’m Disabled & I Refuse To Be Your Inspiration\u003c/a> by Jillian Mercado\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.teenvogue.com/story/black-disabled-lives-matter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Black Disabled Lives Matter: We Can’t Erase Disability in #BLM\u003c/a> by Sarah Kim\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/resist/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Resistance and Hope: Essays by Disabled People\u003c/a>, edited by Alice Wong\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38402046-care-work\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice \u003c/a>by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/476491.Too_Late_to_Die_Young\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Too Late to Die Young: Nearly True Tales from a Life \u003c/a>by Harriet McBryde Johnson\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/400560.Crip_Theory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Crip Theory: Cultural Signs of Queerness and Disability\u003c/a> by Robert McRuer, Michael Bérubé\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24892461-bodymap\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bodymap \u003c/a>by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50682.The_Cancer_Journals\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Cancer Journals\u003c/a> by Audre Lorde\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91760.The_Diary_of_Frida_Kahlo\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait by Frida Kahlo\u003c/a>, Carlos Fuentes, Sarah M.

That’s what Alice Wong wants you to know. She is an activist, podcaster and founder of the Disability Visibility Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are modern day oracles. It’s time people listened to us,” she says. At the start of the pandemic, Wong wrote a Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SFdirewolf/status/1240269719313068032\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">thread\u003c/a> highlighting how the public health crisis confirmed who society deems disposable, unworthy of assistance, attention and treatment due to the rationing and shortage of ventilators for critically ill patients in the United States. Wong uses a non-invasive form of ventilation called a Bipap. Her ventilator is part of her body and she cannot be without it for longer than an hour due to her neuromuscular disability. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Wong was young, she dreamed of elevating voices of disabled people because she did not see them represented in media. This summer, she released a book titled, “\u003ca href=\"https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/book/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the 21st Century\u003c/a>” to recenter the people Wong cares about and that she feels people should care about too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The book was really edited for the purpose of pleasing disabled audiences. I do challenge nondisabled readers saying, ‘You know there are things in this book that might make you uncomfortable. There’s maybe terms you never heard of and that’s precisely the point — to not have to explain it to you because we should be able to present ourselves as we are.- Alice Wong \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Wong joined Tonya Mosley to talk about her book and how \u003ca href=\"https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2015/01/19/disability-justice-and-social-justice-entwined-histories-and-futures/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">disability justice\u003c/a> is tied to the Black Lives Matter movement. “I truly am kind of tired of having to make the case that my life has worth and quality the way it is, just as it is right now,” Wong says. “We really have seen who is valued and clearly Black, brown, indigenous people are considered disposable. Disabled people are considered disposable when we hear the media and hear our elected officials use terms like “acceptable losses” and “high risk people.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s when these points of violence often happen.” For Wong, systems that incarcerate and trap people uphold this disciplining, which is often racialized. For example, Wong points to the many Black and disabled people killed by police and how often, their disability is ignored. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong is elevating the voices of disabled people in such a rich way across all platforms.

He’s been on the front lines treating people with COVID-19 over these last few months. \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/streetmedicmil?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jahmil Lacey \u003c/a>the founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.trapmedicine.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TRAPMedicine\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that focuses on using barbershops to help address the health inequities of Black men and boys. He’s currently in medical school, and he joined to talk to us as he just got out of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>You had this cultural icon in our community, as a result of his roles in a number of films, but also like he’s one of us. He went to a Historically Black College/university (HBCU), Howard University. He navigated his way through Hollywood. He took on roles that really depicted us in a very positive light. And when I found out that one, he was diagnosed when it was already stage 3 cancer means he had been impacted by this for a while before he found out and he decided to just live. — Jahmil Lacey\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Dr. Brown says the very act of having to advocate for yourself to get an earlier screening is an example of systemic racism. You can walk into a provider’s office and say, “I think I need to get a colonoscopy,” says Dr. Brown, “and they say, you don’t need a colonoscopy because they don’t understand the way that it decimates the people in our community. They don’t understand that fear plays a factor and how much it actually took for a person to get to the point where they were OK with asking their doctor for an exam.” Dr. Brown says when Black patients are dismissed by doctors that are biased, it can lead to what he calls medical distrust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As Black men, we often have to maximize the time that we have in this physical realm. And we don’t have the luxury of being able to say, “In five years, I want to see myself here.” We’re living for today. A lot of us are living for this hour. And so it’s just a reminder for me to just live. And it’s also a reminder that regardless of how much money you make, how much education you acquire, Black people are always at risk because of racism. — Jahmil Lacey\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As 30-somethings, Lacey and Dr. Brown say their insurance company won’t cover a colon screening, even if they asked for one because the recommended age for testing is 45. They would have to pay out-of-pocket. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/colon-rectal-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/screening-coverage-laws.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACA\u003c/a>, there’s nothing to stop insurers from covering the tests starting at age 45, and some are likely to do so, but at this time insurers are not required to (and some might not) cover the cost of colorectal cancer screening before age 50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I’ve been told is to just lie,” says Lacey. “We’re at the point now where we have to lie about our symptoms in order for doctors to to do their proper due diligence to ensure that we don’t have cancer. And that is a problem.” Dr. Brown says he’s had similar experiences. “Unfortunately for Black patients, you spend more of your time trying to convince somebody that your complaints are real and you are authentic in your desire to have increased health literacy — not because you’re trying to con or game the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some tips from our Wise Ones on how to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. “What would you say to your family member?” \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n“This is a question that I use and that I share with a lot of my patients or people who I would consider under informed. Put it on the physician, as if they were talking to a family member, because they often forget and they create that distance — whether it is emotional fatigue or fatigue from seeing too many patients and are tasked with making complex decisions. So if I’m walking in a room and I’m with a doctor, and I don’t feel like the doctor is 100% giving me the attention that I need or deserve, I would say, “If I were your family member, what would you say to me? How would you approach this?” — Dr. Italo Brown\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. #BlackDoctor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to acknowledge that there’s a power differential immediately when a patient approaches a doctor. There’s a knowledge gap, there is a resource gap, and there’s an access gap. We have to acknowledge that that gap exists and patients need to know that they are just as empowered as the physician. This physician cannot make any decisions about your care that you don’t consent to. If people don’t have access to a Black doctor, go on Instagram, type in “Black doctor.” Find the first Black doctor you see and just direct message them and just ask them questions.” — Jahmil Lacey\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note:\u003c/em> We’re not advocating for people to get legitimate health care via Instagram, but rather, see if you can find a Black doctor that you can eventually see regularly or can help you get the care you need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Pressure your benefits provider for access to providers of color\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For folks who are employed, you can also apply pressure upstream on your benefits groups to demand that they provide you with people who have access to providers of color. You can ask that. You can request that they provide you with strategic plans on how they’re going to increase their provider panel of color. You can also request that they try to put in place navigators who can help you with some of these tougher questions. For example, imagine trying to plan end-of-life care for a family member. That’s difficult, especially within the Black community. And that will turn a very clear spotlight on the blind spots in lack of equity that exists within the corporate structures of the jobs that we work.” — Dr. Italo Brown\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Vote\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4685976/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Study\u003c/a> after \u003ca href=\"https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3163.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study\u003c/a> shows the clear association between civic engagement and health outcomes. A lot of what we’re talking about are decisions that have been made at an executive level and at the legislative level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, Lacey wants to emphasize that Boseman did not give in to cancer; he kept fighting for his life. “Despite every advancement in medicine, this is just where we are. I think about health disparities and how they impact Black people no matter how much money we have, no matter how much fame we acquire. We are always at risk. And my message to people is to fight like Chadwick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jKbDASHwpfWnug3yxpQYU-AFOiBTnuPS/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/streetmedicmil?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jahmil Lacey\u003c/a>, founder/CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.trapmedicine.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TRAPMedicine\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/gr8vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italo Brown\u003c/a>, MD, MPH, Policy Advocate & Emergency Medicine Physician and Chief Impact Advisor of TRAPMedicine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.trapmedicine.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TRAPMedicine\u003c/a> — (Trust, Research, Acces and Prevention) — Shifting the praxis, narrative and culture of men’s health through the barbershop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Information about \u003ca href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/colon-rectal-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/screening-coverage-laws.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insurance coverage for colorectal cancer screenings\u003c/a> per the American Cancer Society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click \u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a> to register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Reading:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.thefader.com/2017/10/11/black-barbershops-new-york-la-houston-new-orleans-essay-photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The power and politics of the black barbershop\u003c/a> by Jason Parham\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5480371/barbershop-blood-pressure-program/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why Barbershops May Be Key to Improving Black Men’s Health\u003c/a> by Alice Park\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/09/01/908471876/africans-mourn-chadwick-boseman-a-great-tree-has-fallen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Africans Mourn Chadwick Boseman: ‘A Great Tree Has Fallen’\u003c/a> by Ifeanyi Nsofor\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/185986/medical-apartheid-by-harriet-a-washington/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Medical Apartheid\u003c/a> by Harriet A.

And that is a problem.” Dr. Brown says he’s had similar experiences. “Unfortunately for Black patients, you spend more of your time trying to convince somebody that your complaints are real and you are authentic in your desire to have increased health literacy — not because you’re trying to con or game the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some tips from our Wise Ones on how to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. “What would you say to your family member?” \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n“This is a question that I use and that I share with a lot of my patients or people who I would consider under informed. Put it on the physician, as if they were talking to a family member, because they often forget and they create that distance — whether it is emotional fatigue or fatigue from seeing too many patients and are tasked with making complex decisions. So if I’m walking in a room and I’m with a doctor, and I don’t feel like the doctor is 100% giving me the attention that I need or deserve, I would say, “If I were your family member, what would you say to me? How would you approach this?” — Dr. Italo Brown\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. #BlackDoctor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to acknowledge that there’s a power differential immediately when a patient approaches a doctor. There’s a knowledge gap, there is a resource gap, and there’s an access gap. We have to acknowledge that that gap exists and patients need to know that they are just as empowered as the physician. This physician cannot make any decisions about your care that you don’t consent to. If people don’t have access to a Black doctor, go on Instagram, type in “Black doctor.” Find the first Black doctor you see and just direct message them and just ask them questions.” — Jahmil Lacey\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note:\u003c/em> We’re not advocating for people to get legitimate health care via Instagram, but rather, see if you can find a Black doctor that you can eventually see regularly or can help you get the care you need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Pressure your benefits provider for access to providers of color\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For folks who are employed, you can also apply pressure upstream on your benefits groups to demand that they provide you with people who have access to providers of color. You can ask that. You can request that they provide you with strategic plans on how they’re going to increase their provider panel of color. You can also request that they try to put in place navigators who can help you with some of these tougher questions. For example, imagine trying to plan end-of-life care for a family member. That’s difficult, especially within the Black community. And that will turn a very clear spotlight on the blind spots in lack of equity that exists within the corporate structures of the jobs that we work.” — Dr. Italo Brown\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Vote\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4685976/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Study\u003c/a> after \u003ca href=\"https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3163.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study\u003c/a> shows the clear association between civic engagement and health outcomes. A lot of what we’re talking about are decisions that have been made at an executive level and at the legislative level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, Lacey wants to emphasize that Boseman did not give in to cancer; he kept fighting for his life. “Despite every advancement in medicine, this is just where we are. I think about health disparities and how they impact Black people no matter how much money we have, no matter how much fame we acquire. We are always at risk. And my message to people is to fight like Chadwick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jKbDASHwpfWnug3yxpQYU-AFOiBTnuPS/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/streetmedicmil?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jahmil Lacey\u003c/a>, founder/CEO of \u003ca href=\"https://www.trapmedicine.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TRAPMedicine\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/gr8vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italo Brown\u003c/a>, MD, MPH, Policy Advocate & Emergency Medicine Physician and Chief Impact Advisor of TRAPMedicine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.trapmedicine.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TRAPMedicine\u003c/a> — (Trust, Research, Acces and Prevention) — Shifting the praxis, narrative and culture of men’s health through the barbershop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Information about \u003ca href=\"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/colon-rectal-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/screening-coverage-laws.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insurance coverage for colorectal cancer screenings\u003c/a> per the American Cancer Society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Click \u003ca href=\"https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a> to register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Reading:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.thefader.com/2017/10/11/black-barbershops-new-york-la-houston-new-orleans-essay-photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The power and politics of the black barbershop\u003c/a> by Jason Parham\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://time.com/5480371/barbershop-blood-pressure-program/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Why Barbershops May Be Key to Improving Black Men’s Health\u003c/a> by Alice Park\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/09/01/908471876/africans-mourn-chadwick-boseman-a-great-tree-has-fallen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Africans Mourn Chadwick Boseman: ‘A Great Tree Has Fallen’\u003c/a> by Ifeanyi Nsofor\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/185986/medical-apartheid-by-harriet-a-washington/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Medical Apartheid\u003c/a> by Harriet A.

It’s a love letter to the city of Los Angeles, Thompson-Hernández’s community, and the people that are touchstones to his life. It is also a podcast about a side of America that usually doesn’t make it to mainstream media. “If you’re from L.A. you hear all these tropes about the city and that’s not what I know.” — Walter Thompson-Hernández.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first and final season of the podcast is out now and you can find an overview of each episode below.

It’s a love letter to the city of Los Angeles, Thompson-Hernández’s community, and the people that are touchstones to his life. It is also a podcast about a side of America that usually doesn’t make it to mainstream media. “If you’re from L.A. you hear all these tropes about the city and that’s not what I know.” — Walter Thompson-Hernández.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first and final season of the podcast is out now and you can find an overview of each episode below. In case you need some direction on where to start, Thompson-Hernández wanted to start telling his story with “Scared Straight,” but his favorite episode is “Parrots: A Parable.” If you are already a fan, give the show some love and leave a review. Here are the episodes and a little about them:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Prologue”:\u003c/strong> Our host Walter Thompson-Hernández returns home to L.A. and reflects on how much the city has changed since he was a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Scared Straight”:\u003c/strong> Walter was just 11 years old when he was admitted to L.A.’s infamous Scared Straight program for graffiti-related crimes. In this episode, Walter, through a chance encounter, checks in with his friend who went through the program with him, their anti-tagging arch-nemesis and how they have turned out after all these years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“P Line”:\u003c/strong> A story about a wild party line that many Los Angeles’ teenagers used to create a fantasy world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Kobe”:\u003c/strong> Walter dives deep on what Kobe meant to him in his life and how the icon’s death spurred a collective mourning throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Parrots:A Parable”:\u003c/strong> A first-parrot perspective into legends and myths of how L.A. became home to the world’s largest population of green parrots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Compton Cowboys:”\u003c/strong> There’s a horse ranch in the heart of Compton that may hold the answers for salvation and redemption for the city’s Black cowboys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Ellie:”\u003c/strong> Eleuteria “Ellie” Hernández moved to Los Angeles from a small town in Mexico when she was 14 and fell in love with the city.

He was trying to break up a dispute. His father reported that his son is now \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53908303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paralyzed\u003c/a> from the waist down but doctors do not know if it is permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been nearly three months since the deaths of George Floyd and Tony McDade; five months since the death of Breonna Taylor and six months since the death of Ahmaud Arbery. It’s disheartening that our conversations about racism and trauma continue to be relevant every single day. We know there are lifelong impacts to this trauma. And we continue to turn to the power of healing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week we have asked Wise One, \u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resmaa Menakem\u003c/a>, for help. He’s a healer, trauma specialist and author of the book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>.” In conversation, Menakem asked Tonya: “Have you noticed that since George Floyd got killed, all of the practices that used to give you relief, no longer do?” He continued, “That’s because we’re trying to do individual things to deal with communal grief.” The same could be said this week, and every time a Black person and their families’ lives are forever changed as a result of racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3181584/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trauma\u003c/a> is a response to anything that’s overwhelming that happens too much, too fast, too soon or too long, Menakem says, coupled with a lack of protection or support. It lives in the body stored as sensation: pain or tension — or lack of sensation, like numbness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menakem says these lifelong effects also impact \u003ca href=\"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-racial-trauma-does-body-brain_l_5efa43b1c5b6acab28459220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our psyche, our bodies\u003c/a> and our \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190326-what-is-epigenetics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DNA\u003c/a>. How well do you listen to your body? How do we tune in to the alarm bells our bodies are ringing? Wise One Menakem helps people listen and act on the messages our bodies are giving us. And during the course of our conversation, we got into another related subject — \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/monitor/2019/02/legacy-trauma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inherited trauma\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our question this week comes from \u003ca href=\"https://niaitathomas.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nia Ita Thomas\u003c/a>. Thomas identifies as a proud Afro-latina/Afro-indigina woman by way of the Dominican Republic. She is a New York City-based educator, storyteller and mental health advocate. Thomas is a survivor of childhood sexual assault, the daughter of immigrants and grew up with a parent who was emotionally abusive and sometimes physically abusive. When Thomas read the book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-body-keeps-the-score-bessel-van-der-kolk-md/1117229987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Body Keeps the Score\u003c/a>,” she connected her clumsiness to trauma and said she had no idea she was disassociating from her body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’ve always been known as that kid that was clumsy, and I never thought to connect it to my trauma or to the ways that I was actually disassociating from my body. And so that’s a way that definitely shows up. I’m not the most graceful person. I’m dropping things a lot. I’m not the most observant person. I’m book smart, but if it’s in my environment, what’s happening around me, I don’t always see everything. And I’ve learned now that those are symptoms from body disassociation — the ways that we dissociate from reality and from our body in order to protect ourselves because we had to do. It wants to survive. I never realized how not present I am in my body at times.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Thomas says she’s found helpful practices such as journaling and yoga to keep her present with her body. But when she can’t do those things, Thomas asks: “What are other practices that I can engage in to continue to kind of heal and realign my body with myself?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menakem says we have to account for the impact of \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@rmenakem/white-supremacy-as-a-trauma-response-ce631b82b975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white body supremacy\u003c/a> — a structural rule that says the white body is the supreme standard by which all bodies’ humanity shall be measured. He says, “if you don’t start with white body supremacy as a notion for what is happening to our bodies, then whatever you come up with is going to be skewed. And there were two groups that were the antithesis to this standard: the Black body and the Indigenous body. The Indigenous body was rendered invisible and the Black body was rendered nonhuman, juxtaposed to the humanity of the white body.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this in mind, Menakem dove into his advice reframing our chosen healing practices and how the trauma transcends our own individual bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A lot of times we come up with these individual strategies like I do yoga or I’ve started paleo, but what happened to our people, Sis, did not happen to us individually. What happened to our people, happened to us communally. And we’ve lost some of those communal ways of moving through it. Race has energy to it. It’s one of the reasons why we don’t want to talk about it; because when we begin to talk about it, all of the grief, all of the historical, intergenerational, institutional trauma and personal grief also show up at the same time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Menakem is also a survivor of childhood sexual assault and he understands the body disassociation as a protective mechanism. He consistently tells Black and brown people embarking on this health journey “trauma is not an indicator that you are defective. It is an indicator that things have happened and continue to happen so your body starts to protect itself, whether your brain thinks it should or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example Menakem offers is of inherited trauma. He says there is trauma in our bodies that has been passed down to us. So, when we feel something is “off” it may not actually be ours. Menakem highlights the trauma might actually be a trauma passed down that never got resolved in our ancestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What happens if you’re my child and you didn’t know what happened to me 20 years ago? But now I’m raising you and leaning into things that feel a little bit off. Now it looks like daddy is just crazy. Then over time, the family lore is, “Leave that boy alone, that boy a little off.” In the culture, it looks like these people is just running wild. No. Something happened and continues to happen. Trauma in a person decontextualized can look like personality. Trauma in a family decontextualized can look like family traits. Trauma in a people can look like culture.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>To begin, Menakem has these suggestions for people looking for practices to heal trauma in the body:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Soul Scribing \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Think about the experience that caused you trauma. Even if you don’t remember what happened, still answer this question: What are the vibratory sensations that come up?\u003cbr>\n2. Answer slowly and then step away from your writing.\u003cbr>\n3. Revisit it and read it. Write some more. Repeat until the story starts to unfold and you’re able to metabolize pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reclaiming the Hum\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Focus your attention on the center of your belly, behind your navel.\u003cbr>\n2. Breathe in and out, deeply and slowly a few times. Feel your belly pull the air all the way down into it.\u003cbr>\n3. On the fourth or fifth exhalation, hum a low, even tone.\u003cbr>\n4. Inhale naturally and repeat this a few times, varying your pitch with each new exhalation.\u003cbr>\n5. Do this for 2-3 minutes.\u003cbr>\n6. Then stop and ask: What has changed from before you started humming? What has stayed the same? What does your body want to do now? Just take notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow Rocking\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Get comfortable. Take a few deep breaths. Slowly rock your upper body from side to side or forward and back.\u003cbr>\n2. If you like, play or hum a slow soothing tune and rock to its beat.\u003cbr>\n3. You can stand or sit, rock side to side or forward and back at different speeds (always slow). Discover what feels best. Do this for 2- 5 minutes a day.\u003cbr>\n4. When you’re done, stop and notice what your body is experiencing.\u003cbr>\nAlternative: Keep your body still, but let your head and neck rock slowly from side to side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reclaiming the Touch\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Remove any heavy clothes. Get comfortable and take a few deep breaths. Let your shoulders relax.\u003cbr>\n2. Place your palm on the center of your belly, just above your navel. Press in gently. Hold your hand in place for a moment or two.\u003cbr>\n3. Then, slowly rub your belly for 3-4 minutes, in whatever way feels good to your body.\u003cbr>\n4. When you’re done pay attention to all the sensations in your body.\u003cbr>\nAlternative 1: Rub the center of your breastbone\u003cbr>\nAlternative 2: Rub your solar plexus — your center of gravity, halfway between your breastbone and navel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His book, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>”, includes practices for healing white body supremacy and should not be read in a month or even a year. Menakem recommends reading and practicing slowly for the duration of about two years. He also offers a free online course on racialized trauma that can be accessed below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this journey can feel overwhelming it is a lifelong journey. “The beauty in it,” Resmaa says, “is that you learn so much about yourself in the process of transforming. In order to do so, you have to get to suffering’s edge. You have to get to the level of temporarily conditioning your body to be able to withstand the charge that it takes to transform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/14uAuBJG1D3ngHyHU5hW8PlgxpxEB_G9F/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://niaitathomas.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nia Ita Thomas\u003c/a>, a bilingual, NYC school-based speech-language pathologist\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resmaa Menakem\u003c/a>, Healer, Trauma Specialist and author of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Free Racialized Trauma E-Course led by Resmaa Menakem can be accessed \u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources provided by Resmaa for your healing journey can be found \u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Reading:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>” by Resmaa Menakem\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://vitruvi.com/blogs/health-and-wellness/making-space-for-grief-in-our-bodies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Making Space for Grief in Our Bodies\u003c/a>” by Alicia Forneret\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-body-keeps-the-score-bessel-van-der-kolk-md/1117229987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma\u003c/a>” by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.*\u003cbr>\n*Note: the author was \u003ca href=\"https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/03/07/allegations-employee-mistreatment-roil-renowned-trauma-center/sWW13agQDY9B9A1rt9eqnK/story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fired\u003c/a> in 2018 for reports of his bullying and mistreatment of employees at his renowned, The Trauma Center.\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26026054-it-didn-t-start-with-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It Didn’t Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle\u003c/a>” by Mark Wolynn\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/578679908/the-deepest-well-healing-the-long-term-effects-of-childhood-adversity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Deepest Well: Healing The Long-Term Effects Of Childhood Adversity\u003c/a>” by Nadine Burke Harris\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.akpress.org/pleasure-activism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good\u003c/a>” by adrienne maree brown\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.soundstrue.com/products/mindful-of-race?variant=32219848999011&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi4OI05-o6wIVixatBh0sBQkmEAQYASABEgIOIfD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out\u003c/a>” by Ruth King\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Listening:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://onbeing.org/blog/race-and-healing-body-practice/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Race and Healing: A Body Practice\u003c/a>” episode from “\u003ca href=\"https://onbeing.org/series/podcast/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">On Being\u003c/a>” with Krista Tippett podcast\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/irresistible-fka-healing-justice-podcast/id1308078502\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Irresistible\u003c/a>” (“fka Healing Justice Podcast”*)\u003cbr>\n*Note: the podcast has come to an end this year after an employee \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@whitneyannespencer/an-open-letter-a-call-for-true-healing-justice-d37d7d7d6c21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">highlighted\u003c/a> the harm done to Black and brown people caused by the show’s \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@irresistiblemovements/an-apology-resignation-from-kate-of-irresistible-12ed2920830f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">co-director\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He was trying to break up a dispute. His father reported that his son is now \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53908303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paralyzed\u003c/a> from the waist down but doctors do not know if it is permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been nearly three months since the deaths of George Floyd and Tony McDade; five months since the death of Breonna Taylor and six months since the death of Ahmaud Arbery. It’s disheartening that our conversations about racism and trauma continue to be relevant every single day. We know there are lifelong impacts to this trauma. And we continue to turn to the power of healing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week we have asked Wise One, \u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resmaa Menakem\u003c/a>, for help. He’s a healer, trauma specialist and author of the book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>.” In conversation, Menakem asked Tonya: “Have you noticed that since George Floyd got killed, all of the practices that used to give you relief, no longer do?” He continued, “That’s because we’re trying to do individual things to deal with communal grief.” The same could be said this week, and every time a Black person and their families’ lives are forever changed as a result of racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3181584/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trauma\u003c/a> is a response to anything that’s overwhelming that happens too much, too fast, too soon or too long, Menakem says, coupled with a lack of protection or support. It lives in the body stored as sensation: pain or tension — or lack of sensation, like numbness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

How well do you listen to your body? How do we tune in to the alarm bells our bodies are ringing? Wise One Menakem helps people listen and act on the messages our bodies are giving us. And during the course of our conversation, we got into another related subject — \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/monitor/2019/02/legacy-trauma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inherited trauma\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our question this week comes from \u003ca href=\"https://niaitathomas.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nia Ita Thomas\u003c/a>. Thomas identifies as a proud Afro-latina/Afro-indigina woman by way of the Dominican Republic. She is a New York City-based educator, storyteller and mental health advocate. Thomas is a survivor of childhood sexual assault, the daughter of immigrants and grew up with a parent who was emotionally abusive and sometimes physically abusive. When Thomas read the book “\u003ca href=\"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-body-keeps-the-score-bessel-van-der-kolk-md/1117229987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Body Keeps the Score\u003c/a>,” she connected her clumsiness to trauma and said she had no idea she was disassociating from her body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’ve always been known as that kid that was clumsy, and I never thought to connect it to my trauma or to the ways that I was actually disassociating from my body. And so that’s a way that definitely shows up. I’m not the most graceful person. I’m dropping things a lot. I’m not the most observant person. I’m book smart, but if it’s in my environment, what’s happening around me, I don’t always see everything. And I’ve learned now that those are symptoms from body disassociation — the ways that we dissociate from reality and from our body in order to protect ourselves because we had to do. It wants to survive. I never realized how not present I am in my body at times.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Thomas says she’s found helpful practices such as journaling and yoga to keep her present with her body. But when she can’t do those things, Thomas asks: “What are other practices that I can engage in to continue to kind of heal and realign my body with myself?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menakem says we have to account for the impact of \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@rmenakem/white-supremacy-as-a-trauma-response-ce631b82b975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white body supremacy\u003c/a> — a structural rule that says the white body is the supreme standard by which all bodies’ humanity shall be measured. He says, “if you don’t start with white body supremacy as a notion for what is happening to our bodies, then whatever you come up with is going to be skewed. And there were two groups that were the antithesis to this standard: the Black body and the Indigenous body. The Indigenous body was rendered invisible and the Black body was rendered nonhuman, juxtaposed to the humanity of the white body.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this in mind, Menakem dove into his advice reframing our chosen healing practices and how the trauma transcends our own individual bodies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A lot of times we come up with these individual strategies like I do yoga or I’ve started paleo, but what happened to our people, Sis, did not happen to us individually. What happened to our people, happened to us communally. And we’ve lost some of those communal ways of moving through it. Race has energy to it. It’s one of the reasons why we don’t want to talk about it; because when we begin to talk about it, all of the grief, all of the historical, intergenerational, institutional trauma and personal grief also show up at the same time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Menakem is also a survivor of childhood sexual assault and he understands the body disassociation as a protective mechanism. He consistently tells Black and brown people embarking on this health journey “trauma is not an indicator that you are defective. It is an indicator that things have happened and continue to happen so your body starts to protect itself, whether your brain thinks it should or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example Menakem offers is of inherited trauma. He says there is trauma in our bodies that has been passed down to us. So, when we feel something is “off” it may not actually be ours. Menakem highlights the trauma might actually be a trauma passed down that never got resolved in our ancestors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What happens if you’re my child and you didn’t know what happened to me 20 years ago? But now I’m raising you and leaning into things that feel a little bit off. Now it looks like daddy is just crazy. Then over time, the family lore is, “Leave that boy alone, that boy a little off.” In the culture, it looks like these people is just running wild. No. Something happened and continues to happen. Trauma in a person decontextualized can look like personality. Trauma in a family decontextualized can look like family traits. Trauma in a people can look like culture.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>To begin, Menakem has these suggestions for people looking for practices to heal trauma in the body:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Soul Scribing \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Think about the experience that caused you trauma. Even if you don’t remember what happened, still answer this question: What are the vibratory sensations that come up?\u003cbr>\n2. Answer slowly and then step away from your writing.\u003cbr>\n3. Revisit it and read it. Write some more. Repeat until the story starts to unfold and you’re able to metabolize pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reclaiming the Hum\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Focus your attention on the center of your belly, behind your navel.\u003cbr>\n2. Breathe in and out, deeply and slowly a few times. Feel your belly pull the air all the way down into it.\u003cbr>\n3. On the fourth or fifth exhalation, hum a low, even tone.\u003cbr>\n4. Inhale naturally and repeat this a few times, varying your pitch with each new exhalation.\u003cbr>\n5. Do this for 2-3 minutes.\u003cbr>\n6. Then stop and ask: What has changed from before you started humming? What has stayed the same? What does your body want to do now? Just take notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Slow Rocking\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Get comfortable. Take a few deep breaths. Slowly rock your upper body from side to side or forward and back.\u003cbr>\n2. If you like, play or hum a slow soothing tune and rock to its beat.\u003cbr>\n3. You can stand or sit, rock side to side or forward and back at different speeds (always slow). Discover what feels best. Do this for 2- 5 minutes a day.\u003cbr>\n4. When you’re done, stop and notice what your body is experiencing.\u003cbr>\nAlternative: Keep your body still, but let your head and neck rock slowly from side to side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reclaiming the Touch\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. Remove any heavy clothes. Get comfortable and take a few deep breaths. Let your shoulders relax.\u003cbr>\n2. Place your palm on the center of your belly, just above your navel. Press in gently. Hold your hand in place for a moment or two.\u003cbr>\n3. Then, slowly rub your belly for 3-4 minutes, in whatever way feels good to your body.\u003cbr>\n4. When you’re done pay attention to all the sensations in your body.\u003cbr>\nAlternative 1: Rub the center of your breastbone\u003cbr>\nAlternative 2: Rub your solar plexus — your center of gravity, halfway between your breastbone and navel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His book, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>”, includes practices for healing white body supremacy and should not be read in a month or even a year. Menakem recommends reading and practicing slowly for the duration of about two years. He also offers a free online course on racialized trauma that can be accessed below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this journey can feel overwhelming it is a lifelong journey. “The beauty in it,” Resmaa says, “is that you learn so much about yourself in the process of transforming. In order to do so, you have to get to suffering’s edge. You have to get to the level of temporarily conditioning your body to be able to withstand the charge that it takes to transform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/14uAuBJG1D3ngHyHU5hW8PlgxpxEB_G9F/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://niaitathomas.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nia Ita Thomas\u003c/a>, a bilingual, NYC school-based speech-language pathologist\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resmaa Menakem\u003c/a>, Healer, Trauma Specialist and author of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Free Racialized Trauma E-Course led by Resmaa Menakem can be accessed \u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources provided by Resmaa for your healing journey can be found \u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recommended Reading:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.resmaa.com/books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Grandmother’s Hands\u003c/a>” by Resmaa Menakem\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://vitruvi.com/blogs/health-and-wellness/making-space-for-grief-in-our-bodies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Making Space for Grief in Our Bodies\u003c/a>” by Alicia Forneret\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-body-keeps-the-score-bessel-van-der-kolk-md/1117229987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma\u003c/a>” by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.*\u003cbr>\n*Note: the author was \u003ca href=\"https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/03/07/allegations-employee-mistreatment-roil-renowned-trauma-center/sWW13agQDY9B9A1rt9eqnK/story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fired\u003c/a> in 2018 for reports of his bullying and mistreatment of employees at his renowned, The Trauma Center.\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26026054-it-didn-t-start-with-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">It Didn’t Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle\u003c/a>” by Mark Wolynn\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/books/titles/578679908/the-deepest-well-healing-the-long-term-effects-of-childhood-adversity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Deepest Well: Healing The Long-Term Effects Of Childhood Adversity\u003c/a>” by Nadine Burke Harris\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.akpress.org/pleasure-activism.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good\u003c/a>” by adrienne maree brown\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.soundstrue.com/products/mindful-of-race?variant=32219848999011&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi4OI05-o6wIVixatBh0sBQkmEAQYASABEgIOIfD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out\u003c/a>” by Ruth King\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We got a lot of questions from listeners, so we gathered them and enlisted two Wise Ones to help us work through them. Host Tonya Mosley is joined by Nancy Redd, author of several women’s health books and “Bedtime Bonnet.” And she’s the mother of two children — August, who is 9 years old, and Little Nancy who is 6. New York Times opinion writer and prolific tweeter Wajahat Ali is our second Wise One. Ali is a father of three little ones – 4-year-old Nusayba, 6-year-old Ibrahim and 8-month-old Khadija.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redd had home-schooled her children before the pandemic, so this quarantine has been a return to their previous routine. As of this January, Ali’s 4-year-old daughter Nusayba was declared cancer-free after being diagnosed in 2019 with stage four cancer and receiving a liver transplant. And the two of them have figured out a way to not lose their minds while being a parent, a full-time writer and a healthy human during a pandemic. Mosley and the Wise Ones began the conversation with a check-in and stressed that the key is to not be too hard on yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Wajahat Ali: It is a struggle for working parents. At first, people were saying, “Oh, isn’t it fantastic?” And now it’s like, “Yo, we are drowning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Redd: For individuals who are used to the work-life balance, where your child was away from you; you were away from home and you all come home together … To be honest with you, I have no idea how you can make this transition so swiftly and quickly. Of course, there is going to be some growing pains.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Both parents admit to the humbling lessons quarantine has taught them, such as valuing being in together as a family. But Redd and Ali say their experiences, although unique to their family and environment, are not that different from our listeners who wrote in with questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>“Dear Truth be Told, my name is Giselle and I live in the Inland Empire in California. I have a 5 year old who just started kindergarten and an almost 3 year old. How do we address the question of “how long will this last?” Our 5 year old only experienced less than a school year [before COVID] and with school starting back up again, she’s confused why she won’t have a “first day of school” and asked when she will be able to do that again.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali:\u003c/strong> Yeah, my son also had a year of school before coronavirus and he had his routine. But what we told him and we told Nusaybah is: We’re in a global pandemic, there’s something called a virus. People are sick. People are dying. And so for our health right now, we have to stay away from some folks. We have to social distance so we can see our friends on Zoom and we might have to do something called distance learning on the internet. But, you know, this will eventually pass. It might take some time. It might be a year.” And so me and my wife, we have not coddled them when it comes to the reality of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nancy Redd:\u003c/strong> Well, I don’t like to be wrong, so when I’m asked a question that I don’t have an answer to, I am never afraid to say, “I don’t know” because it makes them believe me more when I say “I know.” So what I like to do, especially with my littlest one, is to diffuse the situation and their anxiety. But whatever the question is, if it’s like, “How long would this last?” To afford a medium of autonomy in the relationship, I usually throw it back to them — “I don’t know. How long do you think? What do you think needs to happen before we can all get back to the way things were? What can we do to move things forward?” Keeping their little minds busy with active questions gives them less time to dwell on the pressing answer, which is honestly that nobody actually knows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone has a different relationship with kids, said Ali. Some children might need certainty, while others are OK with squishy or dubious answers. But Ali said the key is to offer comfort and some explanation, and to assure them that they are loved. “I think for my kids that’s been enough because they’ve asked about two or three times and then we honestly say ‘once coronavirus is over, don’t worry,’ Ali said. “And they go, ‘OK Baba.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>“Dear Truth Be Told, the balance of being a full-time parent and full-time employee is really hard! My son is 3 and I feel like I’m constantly rejecting him during business hours. What’s a better way to structure my meetings? Should I incorporate 10-minute breaks every hour?” — Anonymous mom working in tech in the Bay Area, California\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali: \u003c/strong>I realized I have to improvise and adapt to a new normal during a pandemic because my kids want me at many times of the day. For my wife Sarah, it’s a little bit harder because Nusaybah still has her trauma, and I think she’s overcoming the trauma of last year. So she needs to know that Sarah is around and once a while, just randomly, she’ll freak out. Slowly but surely, what we’ve noticed is when we’ve established our routine and we’ve established some rules like, “Once mom and Baba are on the headset, once we’re in the Zoom, you can come in the room and play with your toys, but just don’t interrupt us. Or, if you really need something, just don’t yell. Just talk to us and we got you.” And what we’ve seen is this evolution where it’s not perfect but kids are resilient. They are realizing there is a routine to this chaos. That’s where we’re at right now. But it ain’t easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nancy Redd:\u003c/strong> We must not forget that all 3 year olds are dissatisfied. It doesn’t matter in what context. They just want you. You could be spending 23 hours a day with them and then that one hour they’re like, “Why are you not paying attention to me?” So don’t be too hard on yourself, and don’t be hard on the 3 year old. Don’t hurt yourself. Don’t hurt them. The struggle is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali: \u003c/strong>I think what Nancy just said is so key. Don’t be that hard on yourself. That’s a lesson. I think for us and for parents who are type A overachievers, during coronavirus and trying to balance everything. This is an unprecedented pandemic that our generation has never faced. We’re all trying to learn. There’s no normal. Every day brings about a new normal. Give yourself room to be a human being who’s doing their best.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>“Dear Truth Be Told, my name is Juan, I live in Winters, CA and I am the father to a 6 month old and 5 year old. My question is, how do we build a relationship between my son and his grandparents when there isn’t any physical interaction?”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali:\u003c/strong> My mom was supposed to actually visit the week everything got shut down. She had bought a plane ticket. And my parents still haven’t met Khadija, who’s about 8 months old. So all they care about is the grandkids. We make it a point to do WhatsApp, Zoom or FaceTime, just a couple of minutes a day. Honestly, it’s enough to establish a relationship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even in those fleeting three minutes, it establishes a relationship. They know who they are. They see them. They know that they’re loved. And also, we say “Inshallah, once coronavirus is over they’re going to visit and hug you” and they go, “OK.” It’s not perfect, but it keeps the connection alive and it keeps the connection tangible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nancy Redd:\u003c/strong> Actually, I love that, Waj. Your kids are younger and that’s how we started, too, and then we build-up: “Now let’s think of some questions we can ask Angie and dad and grandma and uncle Sammy.” Now they’re having full-fledged conversations and understanding. I use grandparents, because they’re so calm, as a teaching mechanism for how to not sound crazy in a conversation and how to have eye contact on FaceTime. Grandparents are great if you are fortunate to still have them. They’re just excited to see them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali: \u003c/strong> The reason why it’s so important is a connection of generations, but also a passing down a heritage. I started learning how to cook a few months ago. I was literally FaceTiming with my mom and dad. And my mom was like, “OK, let me see it, let me see what you’re doing.” And I could tell it was a bonding experience between us because she took joy in the fact that I was taking her recipes and learning from her. And now she’s proud of the fact that she sees the photos. You know, it’s just like these small things because I’m an only child. I grew up with my grandmother and my grandfather, we had three generations in one house, very old school. So to have these small traditions, it’s so small, specific, tangible acts that we don’t necessarily value that end up being so valuable as we move on in life. As our kids grow up, they’ll remember these days that during quarantine, my parents took the time to do these small little things, to give us a sense of normalcy and to connect us to our grandparents. And hope they not only become better people as a result, but they’ll remember our love for them and the fact that we tried.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question: \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>“Dear Truth Be Told, what are some recommendations on how to get involved with our child’s school when working full time? We want to be part of the conversations around how they are addressing learning, but with both parents working full time, we find very little opportunities to do so.” — Giselle, living in the Inland Empire and mother of two\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nancy Redd:\u003c/strong> I just sat in on a potential school meeting last night on how this whole thing is going to work and I just said my husband, “OK, that’s not going to work. I appreciate and admire the effort. There’s no way I would ever put my child in in-person school right now.” But they’re asking the impossible of wonderful teachers, wonderful educators, wonderful school systems and wonderful parents. So I would say don’t be hard on yourself. It’s not going to be a “last year.” If you reframe everything, your family can grow in ways you couldn’t possibly imagine. But don’t beat yourself up about it and don’t get frustrated because everyone’s in this quagmire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali: \u003c/strong> I think that’s so important because I’m in Virginia right now and we just happened to coincidentally live across from Thomas Jefferson High School. We talked to a lot of parents and you can imagine they’re very concerned helicopter parents who feel like they have to enroll their kids in violin and karate. I’m like, “yo, your kid is like 6.” And then we think we’re very lucky. My wife and I are both educated, but we have deliberately taken the opposite strategy very much like Nancy. We thought we were all about emotional growth, spiritual growth, resilience, confidence, creativity. And we feel like, OK, as long as we can produce kind, good human beings and we know they’re curious and smart, the rest will come. We don’t want to give them that type of pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya Mosley:\u003c/strong> I would also say on a practical level for this parent, what can you do and what should you do because what they’re asking is they want to be part of conversations around how the school district addresses learning. And many school districts still have not come up with what these plans are yet. They have to make this accessible to all parents. It just has to be. And so your call to action to them is, say, “Hey, all of these Zoom meetings, I hope that they’re recorded and they will be available on the website for later. There should be a survey that I can be a part of. And they should be making certain that that survey a month ahead of time gets to every single parent that it can.” And really pushing for that, because that is the only way that parents in different circumstances will be able to participate in this whole process of figuring out what the school year will be like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m afraid because what I feel is this time is just going to deepen disparity because you have all of those parents who are pushing, asking and so involved because they have the privilege to be involved. And so, yes, if we all said, “let’s just hang back a little bit and think about raising better human beings versus academically superior human beings, then then we could all be in this together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line our Wise Ones drove home was to give yourself room to be a human. When it comes to the fear and anxiety around our younger generations’ academic growth, don’t be afraid of exercising the muscle of both being kind to yourself and other people. It’s kindness that will help us endure and maintain our humanity throughout this crisis and after this crisis. Will we emerge as empathetic, kind people who are humbled and able to fix the inequities that exist and have existed? Or will we emerge as the worst versions of ourselves? That’s a question that we should ask ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special thanks to Joecelyn Guevarra, Mia Guevarra and Pendarvis Harshaw for their contributions to this episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/166dsTmKh8z1Wrau6fJzeZtu7UHhaWv-2/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode Guests:\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.nancyredd.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nancy Redd\u003c/a>, on-air host, multimedia journalist and best-selling author of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/606698/bedtime-bonnet-by-nancy-redd-illustrated-by-nneka-myers/9781984895240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bedtime Bonnet\u003c/a>”\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.wajali.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wajahat Ali\u003c/a>, contributing op-ed writer for the New York Times and public speaker\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recommended Reading/Resources:\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/08/853142325/when-will-this-be-over-sesame-workshops-tips-for-parenting-during-a-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">When Will This Be Over?

We got a lot of questions from listeners, so we gathered them and enlisted two Wise Ones to help us work through them. Host Tonya Mosley is joined by Nancy Redd, author of several women’s health books and “Bedtime Bonnet.” And she’s the mother of two children — August, who is 9 years old, and Little Nancy who is 6. New York Times opinion writer and prolific tweeter Wajahat Ali is our second Wise One. Ali is a father of three little ones – 4-year-old Nusayba, 6-year-old Ibrahim and 8-month-old Khadija.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redd had home-schooled her children before the pandemic, so this quarantine has been a return to their previous routine. As of this January, Ali’s 4-year-old daughter Nusayba was declared cancer-free after being diagnosed in 2019 with stage four cancer and receiving a liver transplant. And the two of them have figured out a way to not lose their minds while being a parent, a full-time writer and a healthy human during a pandemic. Mosley and the Wise Ones began the conversation with a check-in and stressed that the key is to not be too hard on yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Wajahat Ali: It is a struggle for working parents. At first, people were saying, “Oh, isn’t it fantastic?” And now it’s like, “Yo, we are drowning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Redd: For individuals who are used to the work-life balance, where your child was away from you; you were away from home and you all come home together … To be honest with you, I have no idea how you can make this transition so swiftly and quickly. Of course, there is going to be some growing pains.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Both parents admit to the humbling lessons quarantine has taught them, such as valuing being in together as a family. But Redd and Ali say their experiences, although unique to their family and environment, are not that different from our listeners who wrote in with questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I have a 5 year old who just started kindergarten and an almost 3 year old. How do we address the question of “how long will this last?” Our 5 year old only experienced less than a school year [before COVID] and with school starting back up again, she’s confused why she won’t have a “first day of school” and asked when she will be able to do that again.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali:\u003c/strong> Yeah, my son also had a year of school before coronavirus and he had his routine. But what we told him and we told Nusaybah is: We’re in a global pandemic, there’s something called a virus. People are sick. People are dying. And so for our health right now, we have to stay away from some folks. We have to social distance so we can see our friends on Zoom and we might have to do something called distance learning on the internet. But, you know, this will eventually pass. It might take some time. It might be a year.” And so me and my wife, we have not coddled them when it comes to the reality of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nancy Redd:\u003c/strong> Well, I don’t like to be wrong, so when I’m asked a question that I don’t have an answer to, I am never afraid to say, “I don’t know” because it makes them believe me more when I say “I know.” So what I like to do, especially with my littlest one, is to diffuse the situation and their anxiety. But whatever the question is, if it’s like, “How long would this last?” To afford a medium of autonomy in the relationship, I usually throw it back to them — “I don’t know. How long do you think? What do you think needs to happen before we can all get back to the way things were? What can we do to move things forward?” Keeping their little minds busy with active questions gives them less time to dwell on the pressing answer, which is honestly that nobody actually knows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone has a different relationship with kids, said Ali. Some children might need certainty, while others are OK with squishy or dubious answers. But Ali said the key is to offer comfort and some explanation, and to assure them that they are loved. “I think for my kids that’s been enough because they’ve asked about two or three times and then we honestly say ‘once coronavirus is over, don’t worry,’ Ali said. “And they go, ‘OK Baba.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Question:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>“Dear Truth Be Told, the balance of being a full-time parent and full-time employee is really hard! My son is 3 and I feel like I’m constantly rejecting him during business hours. What’s a better way to structure my meetings? Should I incorporate 10-minute breaks every hour?” — Anonymous mom working in tech in the Bay Area, California\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali: \u003c/strong>I realized I have to improvise and adapt to a new normal during a pandemic because my kids want me at many times of the day. For my wife Sarah, it’s a little bit harder because Nusaybah still has her trauma, and I think she’s overcoming the trauma of last year. So she needs to know that Sarah is around and once a while, just randomly, she’ll freak out. Slowly but surely, what we’ve noticed is when we’ve established our routine and we’ve established some rules like, “Once mom and Baba are on the headset, once we’re in the Zoom, you can come in the room and play with your toys, but just don’t interrupt us. Or, if you really need something, just don’t yell. Just talk to us and we got you.” And what we’ve seen is this evolution where it’s not perfect but kids are resilient. They are realizing there is a routine to this chaos. That’s where we’re at right now. But it ain’t easy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Nancy Redd:\u003c/strong> We must not forget that all 3 year olds are dissatisfied. It doesn’t matter in what context. They just want you. You could be spending 23 hours a day with them and then that one hour they’re like, “Why are you not paying attention to me?” So don’t be too hard on yourself, and don’t be hard on the 3 year old. Don’t hurt yourself. Don’t hurt them. The struggle is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wajahat Ali: \u003c/strong>I think what Nancy just said is so key. Don’t be that hard on yourself. That’s a lesson. I think for us and for parents who are type A overachievers, during coronavirus and trying to balance everything. This is an unprecedented pandemic that our generation has never faced. We’re all trying to learn. There’s no normal. Every day brings about a new normal.

Your kids are younger and that’s how we started, too, and then we build-up: “Now let’s think of some questions we can ask Angie and dad and grandma and uncle Sammy.” Now they’re having full-fledged conversations and understanding.

We talked to a lot of parents and you can imagine they’re very concerned helicopter parents who feel like they have to enroll their kids in violin and karate. I’m like, “yo, your kid is like 6.” And then we think we’re very lucky. My wife and I are both educated, but we have deliberately taken the opposite strategy very much like Nancy. We thought we were all about emotional growth, spiritual growth, resilience, confidence, creativity. And we feel like, OK, as long as we can produce kind, good human beings and we know they’re curious and smart, the rest will come. We don’t want to give them that type of pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya Mosley:\u003c/strong> I would also say on a practical level for this parent, what can you do and what should you do because what they’re asking is they want to be part of conversations around how the school district addresses learning. And many school districts still have not come up with what these plans are yet. They have to make this accessible to all parents. It just has to be. And so your call to action to them is, say, “Hey, all of these Zoom meetings, I hope that they’re recorded and they will be available on the website for later. There should be a survey that I can be a part of. And they should be making certain that that survey a month ahead of time gets to every single parent that it can.” And really pushing for that, because that is the only way that parents in different circumstances will be able to participate in this whole process of figuring out what the school year will be like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m afraid because what I feel is this time is just going to deepen disparity because you have all of those parents who are pushing, asking and so involved because they have the privilege to be involved. And so, yes, if we all said, “let’s just hang back a little bit and think about raising better human beings versus academically superior human beings, then then we could all be in this together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line our Wise Ones drove home was to give yourself room to be a human. When it comes to the fear and anxiety around our younger generations’ academic growth, don’t be afraid of exercising the muscle of both being kind to yourself and other people. It’s kindness that will help us endure and maintain our humanity throughout this crisis and after this crisis. Will we emerge as empathetic, kind people who are humbled and able to fix the inequities that exist and have existed? Or will we emerge as the worst versions of ourselves? That’s a question that we should ask ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special thanks to Joecelyn Guevarra, Mia Guevarra and Pendarvis Harshaw for their contributions to this episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/166dsTmKh8z1Wrau6fJzeZtu7UHhaWv-2/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode Guests:\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.nancyredd.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nancy Redd\u003c/a>, on-air host, multimedia journalist and best-selling author of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/606698/bedtime-bonnet-by-nancy-redd-illustrated-by-nneka-myers/9781984895240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bedtime Bonnet\u003c/a>”\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.wajali.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wajahat Ali\u003c/a>, contributing op-ed writer for the New York Times and public speaker\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recommended Reading/Resources:\u003cbr>\n“\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/05/08/853142325/when-will-this-be-over-sesame-workshops-tips-for-parenting-during-a-pandemic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">When Will This Be Over?

That is the question we are unpacking in this week’s episode, prompted by our very own host, Tonya Mosley. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Colonialism always works by separating and displacing people of color. My hometown of Detroit is the American manifestation of this — economic divestment over decades has left it vulnerable and bare, bore the brunt of something like a pandemic. When I was a kid, I’d tell anybody who asked me that I was going to move far away and explore the world. And I did. … But now, as I watch how COVID-19 has ravaged places like Detroit — I am aware that I am also vulnerable because I am isolated from my people — and the very superpowers of connection and community that allowed our ancestors to survive past atrocities.” \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tonya talks with two hometown friends, Sarah Davis and Kelly Anglin-Poindexter. Anglin-Poindexter now lives in Houston, Texas, and Davis lives in Austin, Texas. They got on a three-way call to talk about the heartache they feel being so far away while many of their Detroit neighbors, schoolmates and church friends are dying of COVID-19. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya:\u003c/strong> Do you guys miss home? Do you miss Detroit? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sarah: \u003c/strong>I’m just missing the Detroit that we knew when we were growing up. I absolutely miss my family and I do get extremely nostalgic when I go back home. But it’s not for Detroit today. It’s like for the Detroit that we knew and what Detroit could possibly be. I do see little sparks of potential. So, when I see that, I’m like, wow, that’s like what Detroit could be maybe in another 10 years. So if you can miss something that’s in the future, that’s how I feel. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya: \u003c/strong>That’s kind of profound — miss what Detroit is soon to become. But I do feel really emotional about what’s happening with COVID-19 and just the amount of people who are dying from it, the amount of people who are sick, the six degrees of separation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kelly: \u003c/strong>I had a really good friend who was in the hospital and on a ventilator for 45 days. And it was like every single day, I was either trying to reach out to her, her mom or husband, to find out what was going on. And I didn’t realize how much stress that was causing me. And it was interesting that her mom called me one day and she just she started praying with me. Now, this is her daughter. And I was like, ‘I’ve got to put it together. I can’t allow this anxiety to take over me. I have to be able to take care of my family, take care of my kids.’ \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya:\u003c/strong> Yeah, I feel a tremendous amount of fear and also guilt. And I’m trying not to cry about it. My dream had always been like, I’ll go away and establish myself and then come back to Detroit. And that just didn’t happen. I just went away and I never came back. And a big part of that is because of opportunities in other places. So it’s a twofold thing for me — feeling guilt for not being a part of the solution in Detroit. And all of it is exacerbated by this COVID-19 crisis that we’re dealing with. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Our Wise One shares similar feelings. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sarahmbroom.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah M. Broom\u003c/a> is a writer and author of an award-winning book called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.scuppernongbooks.com/book/9780802125088\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Yellow House: A Memoir\u003c/a>” about her childhood home in New Orleans East, Louisiana. The neighborhood was promising at the height of the space race as it became home to a major NASA plant. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broom says a prized childhood memory of hers is remembering how her mother would fix the house up and make it smell good. “She still is this immense sort of sensual person, very interested in how things look and how food is presented. And also this incredible cook. There are times when she was making a bit what seemed like the simplest of dishes, sauerkraut and smoked sausage, but it was completely gourmet on the plate. And so just the memories of her sort of claiming this spot that was hers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broom has always been interested in questions gnawing at identity and belonging. This interest led her to cartography and writing as a profession. She says, through her writing, she tries to fill in the “blank spaces on the map, to redraw a map that includes those neighborhoods and streets and cities whose people are not deemed to matter, whose voices do not make it into the official recording. Those made to play supporting when they are, in fact, the lead.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broom moved to Harlem, New York, before Hurricane Katrina hit her hometown. Her family scattered to safety in places like Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama. Broom believes some stories and experiences of New Orleans get lost, and what’s left are the vices and myths that don’t tell the city’s whole story. “I think it’s very hard to look at the city objectively and to say, ‘We’re a very cool and great city.’ It’s a historic and a very spiritual place, as I see it. But to also be able to call out the dysfunction of it and to be able to say this is equally as real, we have to somehow figure it out — it’s not going to change by magic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It’s a little unfair because, of course, none of the [neighborhoods, streets cities and voices] are missing for the people who matter the most to me in my own world. And that’s precisely the tension and the thing I was writing toward. I wanted to show up as the Black woman cartographer and say, ‘No, look here.’ It was a moment to say, ‘I’m not your tour guide. I’m not leading you here, but I’m going to tell you what matters to me, what I see, and why it matters so much to me,’ you know? And it just really pushed me to think about what goes so wrong in the telling of Black people’s stories, how we become the sum of our disasters, how we are not allowed to be anything more than that.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Before COVID-19, Broom bought a home in New Orleans and it grounded and connected her to her hometown. Her going to New Orleans, time and again is her way of saying, “I haven’t forgotten. I won’t forget. It allows me to be both somewhere in the past, but also in the future. I think that matters more than anything on earth for me, [is] that I return to the soil where I’m from. People know which name to call me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Broom, she feels there is a difference between the spaces where we exist (our inheritance) and where we feel we belong (identity). She broke this down: “We own what belongs to us, whether we claim it or not. So, this idea that we come into the planet and we inherit an entire set of histories and geographies, ways of thinking and rituals [that is] older than us — that is so very different from how what we feel is ours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the interview ends, Broom shares what is giving her joy right now. “My partner and I have this great habit of reading aloud to each other and just hearing each other’s voices and sort of engaging with something that’s not the news. Particularly this last past two weeks or so, have just felt like a battle. Just trying to fight to not have my joy stolen, literally, by someone who needs me to become somehow morose. So I feel like I’m on guard now, just like, ‘Nope, nope, nope.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z5KxV0UfbPf6pyiPoR2RZHg65_TrS_e5/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.sarahmbroom.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah M.

That is the question we are unpacking in this week’s episode, prompted by our very own host, Tonya Mosley. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Colonialism always works by separating and displacing people of color. My hometown of Detroit is the American manifestation of this — economic divestment over decades has left it vulnerable and bare, bore the brunt of something like a pandemic. When I was a kid, I’d tell anybody who asked me that I was going to move far away and explore the world. And I did. … But now, as I watch how COVID-19 has ravaged places like Detroit — I am aware that I am also vulnerable because I am isolated from my people — and the very superpowers of connection and community that allowed our ancestors to survive past atrocities.” \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tonya talks with two hometown friends, Sarah Davis and Kelly Anglin-Poindexter. Anglin-Poindexter now lives in Houston, Texas, and Davis lives in Austin, Texas. They got on a three-way call to talk about the heartache they feel being so far away while many of their Detroit neighbors, schoolmates and church friends are dying of COVID-19. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya:\u003c/strong> Do you guys miss home? Do you miss Detroit? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sarah: \u003c/strong>I’m just missing the Detroit that we knew when we were growing up. I absolutely miss my family and I do get extremely nostalgic when I go back home. But it’s not for Detroit today. It’s like for the Detroit that we knew and what Detroit could possibly be. I do see little sparks of potential. So, when I see that, I’m like, wow, that’s like what Detroit could be maybe in another 10 years. So if you can miss something that’s in the future, that’s how I feel. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya: \u003c/strong>That’s kind of profound — miss what Detroit is soon to become. But I do feel really emotional about what’s happening with COVID-19 and just the amount of people who are dying from it, the amount of people who are sick, the six degrees of separation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kelly: \u003c/strong>I had a really good friend who was in the hospital and on a ventilator for 45 days. And it was like every single day, I was either trying to reach out to her, her mom or husband, to find out what was going on. And I didn’t realize how much stress that was causing me. And it was interesting that her mom called me one day and she just she started praying with me. Now, this is her daughter. And I was like, ‘I’ve got to put it together. I can’t allow this anxiety to take over me. I have to be able to take care of my family, take care of my kids.’ \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tonya:\u003c/strong> Yeah, I feel a tremendous amount of fear and also guilt. And I’m trying not to cry about it. My dream had always been like, I’ll go away and establish myself and then come back to Detroit. And that just didn’t happen. I just went away and I never came back. And a big part of that is because of opportunities in other places. So it’s a twofold thing for me — feeling guilt for not being a part of the solution in Detroit. And all of it is exacerbated by this COVID-19 crisis that we’re dealing with. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Our Wise One shares similar feelings. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sarahmbroom.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah M. Broom\u003c/a> is a writer and author of an award-winning book called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.scuppernongbooks.com/book/9780802125088\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Yellow House: A Memoir\u003c/a>” about her childhood home in New Orleans East, Louisiana. The neighborhood was promising at the height of the space race as it became home to a major NASA plant. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broom says a prized childhood memory of hers is remembering how her mother would fix the house up and make it smell good. “She still is this immense sort of sensual person, very interested in how things look and how food is presented. And also this incredible cook. There are times when she was making a bit what seemed like the simplest of dishes, sauerkraut and smoked sausage, but it was completely gourmet on the plate. And so just the memories of her sort of claiming this spot that was hers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broom has always been interested in questions gnawing at identity and belonging. This interest led her to cartography and writing as a profession. She says, through her writing, she tries to fill in the “blank spaces on the map, to redraw a map that includes those neighborhoods and streets and cities whose people are not deemed to matter, whose voices do not make it into the official recording. Those made to play supporting when they are, in fact, the lead.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Her family scattered to safety in places like Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama. Broom believes some stories and experiences of New Orleans get lost, and what’s left are the vices and myths that don’t tell the city’s whole story. “I think it’s very hard to look at the city objectively and to say, ‘We’re a very cool and great city.’ It’s a historic and a very spiritual place, as I see it. But to also be able to call out the dysfunction of it and to be able to say this is equally as real, we have to somehow figure it out — it’s not going to change by magic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“It’s a little unfair because, of course, none of the [neighborhoods, streets cities and voices] are missing for the people who matter the most to me in my own world. And that’s precisely the tension and the thing I was writing toward. I wanted to show up as the Black woman cartographer and say, ‘No, look here.’ It was a moment to say, ‘I’m not your tour guide. I’m not leading you here, but I’m going to tell you what matters to me, what I see, and why it matters so much to me,’ you know? And it just really pushed me to think about what goes so wrong in the telling of Black people’s stories, how we become the sum of our disasters, how we are not allowed to be anything more than that.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Before COVID-19, Broom bought a home in New Orleans and it grounded and connected her to her hometown. Her going to New Orleans, time and again is her way of saying, “I haven’t forgotten. I won’t forget. It allows me to be both somewhere in the past, but also in the future. I think that matters more than anything on earth for me, [is] that I return to the soil where I’m from. People know which name to call me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Broom, she feels there is a difference between the spaces where we exist (our inheritance) and where we feel we belong (identity). She broke this down: “We own what belongs to us, whether we claim it or not. So, this idea that we come into the planet and we inherit an entire set of histories and geographies, ways of thinking and rituals [that is] older than us — that is so very different from how what we feel is ours.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the interview ends, Broom shares what is giving her joy right now. “My partner and I have this great habit of reading aloud to each other and just hearing each other’s voices and sort of engaging with something that’s not the news. Particularly this last past two weeks or so, have just felt like a battle. Just trying to fight to not have my joy stolen, literally, by someone who needs me to become somehow morose. So I feel like I’m on guard now, just like, ‘Nope, nope, nope.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Episode transcript can be found \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z5KxV0UfbPf6pyiPoR2RZHg65_TrS_e5/view?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode Guests:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.sarahmbroom.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah M.
