Generational Trauma and Healing: Dr. Kerri Moseley-Hobbs' Insights on Flip Your Lid
Imagine feeling that every day, for no reason besides skin color like that's not even the right right. There's no, just to have some empathy for what this is like for people to be considered a fraction of a person.
What does it mean to carry the weight of history in your very being? Dr. Kerri Moseley-Hobbs brings this profound question to life in her conversation with Kim Honeycutt on 'Flip Your Lid'. With nearly two decades of experience in education and historical research, Dr. Moseley-Hobbs delves into the lasting impact of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome on African American communities.
She explores how generational trauma shapes behaviors, from heightened risk assessments to the fight, flight, fall, or freeze responses many individuals experience. But it's not just about the past; it's about understanding the ongoing effects of systemic oppression today. Dr. Moseley-Hobbs doesn't shy away from challenging topics, including the role of the church in perpetuating these systems. Her work with the More Than A Fraction Foundation and her historical research offer a rich backdrop to these discussions.
