18. The Black Exhale and Embracing Rage
Listen now
Description
Black people have been conditioned to internalize our rage for the sake of white comfort, much to our own detriment. Between the physical ailments that manifest from internalized, unexpressed feelings, to the psychological ones, the current Uprising is showing that our rage is not only justified but needs to be expressed. In this episode, I discuss embracing our rage with Antoinette Cooper, the Founder of Black Exhale. She gives some amazing advice on how we can hold space for ourselves and our children to express our darker emotions and why she is starting a movement called Black Exhale.
