Truth In The Morning: Trauma In the City (Hour 2)

The Legendary Homer Blow and Dame Ellzey continue their deep dive into the emotional toll of recent events in the city. From the tragic death of an 11-year-old to teenagers hurt in a police chase and children found living in a storage bin, the episode explores how trauma keeps hitting communities in waves. Homer reflects on the role of pride in preventing healing, urging listeners to work through it. Callers join in with powerful stories—one shares the reality of families living in storage units, while others offer insights on how they’ve moved past trauma. Caller Al brings a poignant perspective: sometimes trauma is brought onto you, without warning or fault. The conversation shifts to the topic of homelessness and generosity—how trauma might affect your willingness to give money to those in need. Throughout, Homer and Dame reference a Yale study showing how stress can be passed down, adding depth to the discussion on generational trauma.
