In this premiere episode of A Progressive Perspective Podcast, hosts Jerrilyn "Doc" Stokes, a trauma-informed therapist, and Kim "KD", a sex therapist, explore the powerful role that shame plays in the lives of Black and Brown communities. Drawing from both personal insight and professional experience, they examine how shame has been passed down through generations, shaping identities, silencing voices, and keeping families locked in cycles of pain and survival instead of healing & progressing.
