“By tending to our own suffering, we prevent ourselves from passing on our grief to other communities, thus minimizing marginalization.” – Breeshia Wade

Intro

I am so excited to have Breeshia Wade, author of Grieving While Black: An Antiracist Take on Oppression and Sorrow, on the show to talk about fear of future loss and Elemental Grief.

She explains some ideas from the book: The way that fear of future loss has shaped society, and the responsibility that majority groups have to attend to their own feelings of fear so that they do not project those feelings onto members of oppressed minorities.

Breeshia also shares her experience attending Stanford University as a Black student, and we chat about fear of future loss in our marriages.
