Culture is Healing, Connection as Repair QKIDs

In the second episode of season 2 Ess and Kaide host a conversation with Ash Cedar about community trauma. They explain what trauma is, and how its impacted them personally. They talk about historical examples of how communities have traumatized other communities and how individuals are ostracized by their own communities. Finally, they brainstorm how communities can collectively heal from generational trauma.
