We explore stress tied to race and culture with curiosity.

Race, Culture, and Stress

  • Racial stress can be tied to hostile experiences of discrimination, bullying, and bias.

  • Racial stress can be tied to racial awakenings where one’s awareness of race, culture, and power lead to cognitive dissonance and personal inquiries that feel overwhelming.

  • Racial stress can carry physiological, psychological, and group/ social consequences.

  • Racial stress can impact one’s ability to feel safe in their own bodies.
