About this listen

The discussion on "It's Where I Am" focused on the mental health impact of civil unrest, particularly the No Kings Day protests. Zandra Polard, Wes Knight, and Daniel Isaiah Elias, aka AM, discussed the emotional toll on families and the lack of therapeutic support. They compared the current unrest to past events like the Rodney King riots and highlighted the systemic issues driving protests. The conversation also touched on the historical context of fascism in America, the economic impact of COVID-19, and the destabilization of regulatory bodies. They emphasized the importance of education, activism, and community support in addressing these challenges.
