Summary

Black don’t crack...or does it? What is your relationship with aging? What aspects of the aging process are within our control? In today’s episode, Terri and Dr. Dom examine the science, the common stereotypes, and our perceptions of the aging process for Black women. While this episode only scratches the surface, make sure you are consulting your spiritual, physical, mental, and financial health providers to ensure your aging process is moving in alignment with your values.

Quote of the Day:
Black don't crack... "This conventional wisdom opens up the door for ageism and discrimination based on looks under the guise of black empowerment."
- Kimberly Foster
