WHAT IS SYSTEMIC RACISM?
HOw IS IT PERPETUATED?
As people of color experience issues within the areas listed above, they become disadvantaged.
This perception of POC is then fed through society through the well known concept of "collective unconscious."
The next generation begins with a disadvantage due to this bias which passes inter-generationaly.
TOXIC STRESS
High ACE scores or any type of trauma creates toxic stress.
Overactive "Fight or Flight"
Toxic Stress throws your body's "Fight or Flight" system into overdrive. An overactive "fight or flight" can wreck havoc on the body creating lots of un-needed mental tension and physical distress through headaches, upset stomach, and body aches.
Long- Term Health Impacts
The combination of toxic stress and overactive fight of flight mechanism can lead to long term health impacts such as premature aging, cancer, and disease.
So How do we reduce Toxic stress and the corresponding
"Fight or Flight" Mechanism?
