Racism-related stress isn’t just a feeling—it’s a thief of time, sleep, and peace. In this deeply resonant episode of The Exit Interview: A Podcast for Black Educators, I explain the difference between racism-related stress and racial battle fatigue and how it manifests in our everyday lives.
Racism is the external reality. Racial battle fatigue is the internal cost—how our bodies and minds respond to constant racialized stress. It’s the hours we spend ruminating, prepping, and recovering. The minutes in the car, reliving what happened. The sleepless nights. The energy it takes to cope through increased spirituality, drinking, smoking, dissociation, or over-preparation.
