## Resource

Dr. Lassiter, a licensed psychologist and cultural commentator, takes us on a journey through his personal experiences and insights on the complexities of race, identity, and the pervasive whiteness mindset that shapes our society. Discover how fear, competition, and a distorted sense of self can keep us trapped in cycles of oppression, and learn about the power of curiosity and cultural humility in fostering genuine connections across communities.
