Racism is a public health threat!

​

Recently, the CDC declared racism as a public health threat. Strikingly, it took 400+ years to deem racism as a health threat. Racism has always been a health threat since its inception, so it is interesting that the CDC just declared it as a threat. Racism is trauma. And anti-Blackness is pervasive.

​

With the continuous policing of Black people and our livelihoods, please do some self-care.

 

Self-care tips:

• Laugh at memes

• Do some yoga

• Make some turmeric tea

• Get off social media

• Watch a funny show

• Prioritize your sleep

• Be kind to yourself
