    ep 46 *Final Episode* Atatiana Jefferson: Why POCs don't call the police for wellness checks

    In this episode, Davia discusses the heartbreaking death of 28 year old, Atatiana Jefferson of Fort Worth, Texas in what should've been a "simple" wellness check. The episode discusses the details of the shooting, the impact of this form of trauma, and its implications for mental health wellness checks.

    This is the final public episode of the AFFIRM podcast. It felt necessary to publicly honor Atatiana Jefferson and make space to normalize the grief, anger, and hurt caused by her unnecessary death.

    While the final season will be released privately to patreon supporters, you may gain access by becoming a patron with a monthly pledge of $4 by signing up at patreon.com/affirmpodcast.

Quite a learning experience. Felt like Davia shed light on things I hadn’t previously considered.

Keep sharing,

All my best, Knight

I look forward to listen weekly

Praise The Lord “ NiGGods”.I’m not sure how I found this podcast, but I LoVE it. From Jade flicking her lighter, to singing at the beginning of each podcast, Keia helping me to navigate the crazy thing called life and acknowledging that it is okay to just not do anything and it’s still considered self-care.
