"If we’re not talking about the racism happening at work, we wouldn’t have anything to talk about."
In my doctoral research, I heard this from two different families—one couple, one mother-daughter. Both were supporting Black educators facing racism in their workplaces.
Their entire relationships had been swallowed up by processing harm.
💬 Every conversation: “She said this to me... What should I say next?”
💔 No room left for laughter, hobbies, or connection.
This is what racism-related stress does—it spills over, crosses over, and takes up space we desperately need for healing.
🎧 Tune into the latest episode of The Exit Interview where I talk with family therapist Josephine Powell about boundaries, burnout, and Black educator wellness.
