About this listen


It's all fun and games until people have to flee for their safety. Join host Maya May for a powerful and thought-provoking episode of 'We Gonna Fix This or Nah?' featuring Dr. Gail Stern, comedian and co-founder of Catharsis Productions. Discover the critical role comedy played in Dr. Stern's design and leadership of sensitivity training for law enforcement officers and how a weaponized ping pong ball is the perfect metaphor for illustrating the cumulative impact of microaggressions. This episode tackles complex issues with lots of laughs, but when Maya asks what the world will look like in 20 years without DEI, Dr. Stern's answer is sobering, far from humorous—it's the reality check we all need to hear.
