On this episode of The Black Love Xperience Podcast, we are talking about Nigrescence, our experiences and some of the history associated with the 5 stages of Nigrescence. Nigrescence describes a process of becoming black or developing a racial identity. The 5 stages are Pre-encounter, Encounter, Immersion Emersion and Internalization. African Americans are "believed to be socialized into the predominant culture, which resulted in diminished racial identification” and thus the Nigrescence model posits that an encounter with an instance of racism or racial discrimination may precipitate the exploration and formation of racial identity, and foster a deeper understanding of the role race plays in the lives of African Americans. We each share our experiences and what we have learned. It’s important that our culture have access to their heritage at a very young age. Fostering and reinforcing the positive strong self respect morals that will help to create stronger and more forward thinking black communities.
