"Microaggressions: Words Hold Weight, Holding People Accountable with Compassion"

In this episode of Dear Melanin KD, I’m diving deep into the topic of microaggressions—those subtle yet harmful comments and actions that can leave a lasting impact. I’ll talk about how these moments have shaped my mental and emotional well-being, and how I’ve been learning to confront them with compassion and accountability rather than anger. I also explore how societal biases and systemic racism feed into these behaviors, and why it’s so important to call people in, not just out. Tune in as we talk about the emotional toll of microaggressions, how we can break the cycle, and what it takes to hold each other accountable while moving forward with empathy.
