On June 17, 2015, nine Black churchgoers were murdered during Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Ten years later, their names still echo across the nation—not just as victims, but as community pillars, faith leaders, and family members whose lives were taken by hate.
In this special anniversary episode, therapist and host Solomon Richberg honors the lives lost, centers survivor stories, and explores the trauma, grief, and resilience that followed. Through a trauma-informed and culturally grounded lens, this episode reflects on what has changed—and what hasn’t—in America’s reckoning with white supremacy and racialized violence.
We remember. We reflect. We resist.
