Ep. 137: Black Fatigue
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we dig into Black Fatigue. A term originally created to describe the long-term physical and emotional toll of racism on Black people, now being twisted by some white folks to describe their own weariness with conversations about race. We unpack the irony, the harm, and the deeper truths behind that reaction.
And as always, we’ll mix in some recent happenings from our family life, a thoughtful listener letter, and Ben’s ongoing irritation with foot-specific socks.
Join us for another conversation about meaningful connection.
