Author Mary-Frances Winters writes that Black people, young and old, are physically, mentally, and emotionally drained because of systemic racism. We discuss her book Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit - the first book to define and explore Black fatigue, the intergenerational impact of systemic racism on the physical and psychological health of Black people.
Winter also discusses why and how society needs to collectively do more to combat its devastating impact.
