Our conversations around generational trauma have evolved to become more nuanced and to shed more light on the Black experience in the United States. But what if, instead of creating intergenerational trauma, there was a way to build intergenerational hope? In this episode of the Found Free podcast, I talk to Dr. Raquel Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist and a social justice advocate, about how to reverse the cycle of oppression that Black people are born into.

Dr. Raquel begins by explaining how she started her career as a psychologist and how she links social justice to her patient care. She highlights the two main conditions that she treats in her Black patients and how she combats them in the way she’s raising her own children. You’ll also learn how oppression shows up in our society – particularly in the education system – and how it impacts young Black children.

This episode was the first part of my interview with Dr Raquel. If you enjoyed it, make sure to subscribe to the Found Free podcast so you catch the second part where we’ll discuss how to spot internalized oppression in ourselves and in our daily lives.
