    Mental Health

    Mental health impacts all of us, whether directly or indirectly, and in a plethora of ways. The unfortunate reality of mental health concerns, illnesses, and disorders, is that many are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, there is a prevalent issue of stigmatization, and systemic inequalities impact the way certain marginalized communities access resources and social support. Tune in to episode #4 of the Fall Awake Podcast as your hosts Tamara Angeline and Zupa talk about mental health, provide valuable research and information on the topic, and open up about their own experiences with mental health issues.

    Black Healing

    “If you don’t heal you’ll pass on the injuries to the next generation” -Dr.Joy DeGruy Black people from all walks of life have endured and continue to endure racism stemming from colonization and slavery. As a result of living in hostile environments, we have developed a number of “maladaptive” behaviours. These behaviours were necessary for our survival at a given time. However, they no longer serve us from one generation to the next. On the contrary, they stifle our growth. This pattern is the result of race-based trauma. You may think that you don’t have race-based trauma but unfortunately if you’re black, you most likely do. It may be that feeling you get when you see a cop car in your review mirror. When you look at yourself and wish your features were finer. Or when you secretly wish that the interviewer is not racist because you really need that job. Historically, our responses to these feelings have been maladaptive. For instance: changing our appearance to look the part. Engaging in violant acts to fit the part. Assimilating to the dominant culture to be accepted. This is what Dr. Joy DeGruy calls post traumatic slave syndrome (P.T.S.S). Take a listen as we discuss the relevance of black healing and how we can all embark on our own individual healing journey.

    CANCEL CULTURE

    In this episode, the hosts talk about cancel culture. They explore its origins, how itis used, and whether or not its use is beneficial for the black community? They also discuss the heaviness of the current social climate. Recent demonstrations from the 50 states of the US and 18 countries worldwide have made this one of the biggest human rights movements in history. This has led to much needed social awakening. However, the sudden attention on the effects of racism and anti-blackness is leading to interpersonal conflicts. What do you do if someone does not understand your plight as a black person? Do you CANCEL them? What if it is a person you love? Is there such a thing as agreeing to disagree on the topic of racism?
