    Why We Stigmatize Others and Ourselves Without Realizing It

    What if the way we talk about people is reinforcing the very stigma we're trying to dismantle? In this conversation, Trabian Shorters introduces the concept of asset framing—a powerful approach that challenges us to define people by their aspirations and contributions before their struggles. He explains how leading with deficits shapes the brain, creates stigma, and even influences how Black communities see themselves. Teri Williams reflects on how she internalized those messages, making this a deeply personal conversation about identity, shame, and telling the whole story.
