I am so excited to have therapist and writer Tiffany Rogers on the Still Becoming podcast. Tiffany and I discuss her decision and journey to becoming a therapist, a story you won’t want to miss. We also discuss racial trauma, covert racism, and microaggressions. Tiffany shares some of her own personal experiences as a Black woman in the United States. We also discuss Tiffany’s powerful idea of creating safe spaces for Black people to share their stories. Knowing that this podcast has a diverse audience, my hope is that if you have overlaps with some of what Tiffany shares as a Black woman in this country that you would feel that safe space. If you do not have overlaps with that experience, my hope is that you would create that safe space and listen. Tiffany and I talk about rest and about joy, and she describes for us an important person that played a vital role in her expanding and becoming who she is today. Tiffany shares so much wisdom and insight, and I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation.
