On this episode of The Letters and Layers Podcast, I highlight two articles written last year by the Atlanta Tribune and The Black Women in Science Network discussing how inability to process feelings and emotions can increase the risk of auto-immune disorders among Black women. I share statistics, biological context, and strategies to help with reducing the likelihood of developing these conditions. I hope you listen to the end.
