In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism.
Trigger warning as this episode does discuss acts of harm being committed against a Black woman. In this episode, Jill discusses her recent travel experience as she witnessed a Black woman being harassed by a flight attendant and eventually kicked off the airplane, for doing nothing wrong.
She discusses the ways that racism, white supremacism culture, and bias all contributed to the woman being mistreated and harmed, and she also discusses ways that people of all identities can use whatever privilege they may have in order to stand with marginalized communities and individuals.
