- community and connection
I’ve just started the process of deconstructing, and practicing connection vs. control. This podcast has been integral for me. I feel like they’re a community for me. A place I can feel safe, ask questions and be accountable.

It’s a bit cringe when Ben’s language picks up AAVE characteristics and when he does not recognize how much more risk or energy it takes for Jamesa to confront situations with inherent bias. However, these are good convos.
Apple Podcasts4kmariesfUnited Statesa year ago - Episode 91
Hi everyone! I am listening to episode 91 & I think that White people experience White women tears & they can be detrimental but they are often more problematic for Black women. They just classify these tears as being emotional. I hate White women tears. I am a sensitive person but I can’t afford to cry when I am actually hurt or upset but these White women cry with impunity.

From the first two months (she was exposed tremendous amounts of trauma) to the physical effects (we have had every allergy test available) to her constant dilated pupils.. Sometimes if feels like they think I’m making things up! I’m glad ... more
