Summary

The more we seek to understand the factors that impact sexual brokenness, the more we recognize how racism can be a contributing factor. But how does racism impact sexual brokenness? On today’s episode, we’re joined by Immanuel and Michelle Garraway, who share their experiences with racism and the role it played in their recovery and healing journey. We talk through how family of origin and harmful intergenerational messages can become a catalyst for sexual brokenness, and how owning your story and the group experience can become a safe place for people of color.

1:05.4	I was asked to present a talk like this last year at the Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit.
1:09.6	And I was sweating buckets, so nervous, because I talk about my story and how racism intertwines
1:18.6	with all of my identity issues and my self-worth that, you know, all those things that created

1:33.2	really nervous that I wasn't going to do it justice, that I was going to say something that
1:37.5	offended somebody, that I was going to not be, you know, representative of a big population of people. It just was a lot of pressure. But
