Grief is complicated. And just because your grief doesn't meet some trivial standard of what society thinks is grievable, doesn't make it any less real.

When Conscious Lee was on a few episodes ago, he said we should shift from a society promoting cancel culture to a society promoting call-out culture. We should highlight the wrongdoing or missteps, but not write off the person entirely for that. Which got us thinking, how do we go from calling them out to them holding themselves accountable. This week, Danielle expands on accountability and call-in culture. Plus, we saved a snippet of our conversation with Conscious Lee that we wanted to share with you. Follow @hahopodcast on Instagram for more! Ms. Danielle: https://msdanielleferrentino.com/IG: @msdanielleferrentinoThe Conscious Lee:https://georgeleespeaks.com/IG: @theconsciouslee  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/help-a-human-out.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“Can I touch your hair?” “You don’t talk Black.” “You’re pretty for a Black girl.” These are all examples of microaggressions — nasty little comments that get said to Black women every single day and that add up to major trauma.

This week, Ms. Danielle is joined by friend and radio personality Tanisha Nichole to talk about microaggressions, how you can recognize them, and how you can help stop them from causing harm.A transcript of this episode is available here.

No matter what you’re going through -- a divorce, a bankruptcy -- there is someone who has walked your path, and we’re going to find them so they can help light your own way through. That’s what this podcast is all about. Every episode, we’ll meet a person going through something nobody in their real life can relate to: On Help A Human Out, our job is to find someone who has been there, so nobody has to feel alone in their struggle. We’re taking difficult, confusing or isolating situations and normalizing them...one person, one problem, one podcast episode at a time. Everything that feels like uncharted territory to YOU is terrain someone else has walked before. Whatever you’re going through, we are going to talk to the people who have been there so we can help others that might currently be there. Wherever there is.Find out more at www.helpahumanout.co Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/help-a-human-out. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
