Healing the History We Inherit with Steve Jensen

What happens when you discover that the history you inherited from your family isn’t the story you thought it was?In this episode of The 1% Shift with Niyi, I’m joined by Steve Jensen, a former trial attorney and author of Healing White History.After 23 years as a trial lawyer demanding the truth in courtrooms, Steve turned that same instinct toward his own family history, uncovering ancestors who were involved in slavery, the Lost Cause, and efforts to strip Black Americans of political power.We’ll talk about confronting difficult family histories, how inherited stories shape identity, the difference between guilt and responsibility, and what happens when we replace shame and avoidance with honest curiosity.🌐 Learn more about Steve and his work: Steve Jensen’s Website
