Bias Detox: Ep 17: Embracing Racial Discomfort: A Path to Growth

Welcome back to the Morris Perspective Podcast with your host, Connie Morris. In this episode of Bias Detox, we delve into the often-avoided topic of racial discomfort. Many of us experience that uneasy feeling when conversations about race heat up, but instead of shying away, we explore how embracing this discomfort can lead to significant personal growth.

Connie shares her personal experiences and insights on racial discomfort, offering listeners a four-step detox plan to transform unease into a powerful tool for change. By leaning into discomfort, asking open-ended questions, reflecting on reactions, and normalizing race discussions, listeners can develop stronger empathy muscles and foster more open dialogues.

Join us as we tackle the fear of racial conversations and discover how discomfort can be an indicator of progress. Whether in the classroom or real-life situations, learn how to keep the conversation going and make racial discomfort a thing of the past, one discussion at a time.
