The episode discusses the details of the shooting, the impact of this form of trauma, and its implications for mental health wellness checks. This is the final public episode of the AFFIRM podcast. It felt necessary to publicly honor Atatiana Jefferson and make space to normalize the grief, anger, and hurt caused by her unnecessary death.
