In today's modern cancel culture, it seems the public is more willing to doxx marginalized folks, specifically Black people whom they disagree with, when white people saying similar things don’t receive nearly the same level of backlash. In this episode, Lexi highlights three specific instances over the past 6 months or so that involved a Black mental health care provider has been dog-piled after stating objective truths or setting personal boundaries and challenges listeners to reflect and attempt to respond to things that trigger us, rather than reacting.
