EVERY MOMENT TEACHES (Feat. Eu'nice McCoy)

Hey UN•THERAPIST,

We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…

Have we started attaching ourselves to second-hand trauma? Not trauma we've personally lived through, but trauma we’ve inherited through stories, social media, conversations, and experiences shared by others.

And when people share traumatic experiences, are we extracting the trauma from it or the principles that came from surviving it?

Because there’s a difference between learning from pain, and building your identity around pain you never actually experienced.

Then we revisited another conversation we’ve had before about Black businesses and discounts. 👇🏾

📌 Why does asking for a discount at BJ’s, Costco, or major retailers feel normal, but somehow becomes offensive when it’s a Black business?
📌 Is it because it’s a small business?
📌 Is it because it’s Black-owned?
📌 Or are we applying different principles depending on who’s selling?
📌 And if support is important, where does fairness fit into the conversation?

On one side, people are saying, “support Black businesses.”

On the other side, customers are saying, “If there’s a deal, why can’t I ask?”

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE secondhand trauma, extracting principles vs pain, support within Black business culture, and the unspoken rules surrounding discounts and community economics.
