Understanding Why I Feel The Way I Do
11:45 AM - 01:15 PM
This presentation is designed to provide participants with essential information needed to look more effectively and holistically at society and how it functions differently for racialized people, particularly Black people. The critical objection is to recognize how the foundation and history of race and racism play out to reinforce social and public health inequalities: Participants will 1) Obtain an understanding of the foundation of racial oppression and how it has carried over to modern time; 2) Acquire a deeper understanding of what racial micro-level-aggressions are and how they impact Racialized Communities; and 3) Learn how events cause biopsychosocial trauma in Racialized Communities which leads to Racial Battle Fatigue.
