Black women navigate the difficult intersection of sexism and racism, a combination that has serious consequences for our health. On this week's episode of The Black Woman's Confidant, Dr. Nicole explores the concept of "weathering" and how the chronic stress of societal complexities affects Black women's bodies. She details how continuous exposure to stress, a constant state of fight-or-flight, and the burden of supporting our families' social and economic needs can manifest physically in health problems. Dr. Nicole also offers actionable insights and strategies for Black women to combat weathering as we live in a world not designed with our well-being in mind.
