Hey, y'all.
So today, I kind of want to talk to you all more about racial trauma.
There are going to be a lot of ads taking place on social media, especially with the presidential elections coming up.
There'll be a lot of attacks on folks because of their racial backgrounds, in addition to some recent incidents in the media around police brutality and people of color, and just how that can cause a lot of trauma for us.
The trauma that people of color tend to experience is called racial trauma, where you experience emotional reactions or symptoms in relation to racism and discrimination.

The interesting thing about racial trauma is that it doesn’t necessarily have to happen to you directly, but if it happens to someone who looks like you or shares similar characteristics, like a similar racial background, and you observe these things in the media, it can also cause trauma for you as well.
