132: Anti-Racism, Black Lives Matter, and Substance Use Disorder with Amber Cole You, Me, Empathy
-
- Society & Culture
On Episode 132 of You, Me, Empathy, Amber Cole and I explore white fragility, overt and covert forms of racism, and the violence that is happening right now against people of color, and black people specifically. We talk about the every day work it takes to embody anti-racism, the collective trauma the black community is living right now, and how we can more thoughtfully and empathetically lift each other up.
Black. Lives. Matter.
Amber also opens up about her passion for the work she does as a therapist specializing in child welfare, substance use, and social policy. She beautifully and compassionately shares her experience growing up with a mother who struggled with substance use disorders, how Amber was born with fetal alcohol syndrome, and how she’s using her experiences as fuel for empathy, understanding, and healing for herself and others.
I really loved this conversation with Amber. I really love Amber! And I think you will too.
