  • Powerful

    Deep insights on the impacts of trauma on the Black community. If you thought racial violence was just an isolated incident with short-term effects, you’ll gain newfound empathy for how deep and long-lasting the pain can be. And, honestly, as I think about the health issues I’ve *personally* experienced, it makes me look at them in a new light and ask some new questions. Powerful series.
