Words cannot describe the struggle we are facing in America right now - a struggle that stems from America's original sin of racism. We are witnessing protesters take to the street all around the US and others around the world taking a stand against the injustices demonstrated daily again people of color - particularly black Americans. This brings so many confusing emotions and thoughts of uncertainty as we begin to see ourselves and each other through different lenses.
This week I am joined by Dr. Anita Foeman and her husband, Nate Terrell, to discuss coping with the murder of George Floyd through the lenses of black, white, and racially ambiguous people. Nate is a licensed clinical social work with 40 years of practice. Nate is the author of Achieving Self-Compassion. Dr. Anita Foeman teaches in the communications and media department at West Chester University and focuses on intercultural and organizational communication. Together, the two have developed and facilitated diversity and inclusion training.
