Description:
Racial battle fatigue isn’t racism itself—it’s how our minds and bodies respond to the racism we experience. From hypervigilance and panic attacks to resentment and disconnection, these responses are real and deeply impactful, especially for Black educators navigating racism both in and outside the workplace.
In this episode, I break down the concept of racial battle fatigue, first coined by Dr. William Smith, and explore how it manifests in our daily lives. From seeing racial injustice on social media to experiencing discriminatory policies in schools, the toll is undeniable. But understanding it is the first step toward healing and reclaiming our well-being.
🎧 Listen now and let’s talk about what healing looks like.
