What is whiteness, and why must we examine it?

How does whiteness relate to white people?

How does our racial identity impact what we are taught about ourselves? 

In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill discusses whiteness. She shares some of her own experiences as she discusses the importance of examining one’s own whiteness and how whiteness impacts the world around us - on an interpersonal and a systemic level. Jill also shares resources that can help white people on this journey.
