Bias Unplugged: Ep 4: The Stress We Can’t See: Racial Bias and Its Physical Toll

Welcome to this eye-opening episode of the Morris Perspective Podcast. Join host Connie Morris in the fourth entry of our healing series as we delve into 'Bias and the Body: The Toll of Injustice on Our Health'. We explore the profound ways racial bias impacts not just our minds, but also our physical well-being. Discover how chronic stress, hypervigilance, and racial battle fatigue manifest in our bodies, affecting communities of color disproportionately.

In this episode, we unpack terms like weathering and vicarious trauma, discussing how these stresses contribute to higher rates of health issues in Black and Brown communities. Learn how bias isn't just a societal problem, but a significant health issue that deserves attention and understanding.

Connie shares personal anecdotes and insights on navigating healthcare, shedding light on the disparities and systemic biases that exacerbate health challenges. Moreover, we highlight ways to foster healing by embracing holistic approaches, including breathwork, rest, and spiritual practices.

Join us in this thought-provoking conversation aimed at revealing the interconnectedness of racial bias and health, and find pathways to healing that honor the body, mind, and spirit.
