It’s always personal in Philadelphia

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Parham for one of the most vulnerable conversations I’ve ever recorded.We explore how Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome doesn’t just live in history—but in habits, coping mechanisms, and quiet forms of self-hatred we normalize every day.
