Recent events have led many of us to experience a whirlwind of emotions, swinging between extreme joy and deep anguish. This episode of the “I Have SOMETHING to Say” Podcast focuses on the emotional whiplash caused by the exhilarating announcement of the Harris-Walz ticket for the U.S. general election and the profound grief following the tragic execution of Sonya Massey in her home by a police officer. Our guest, Deloria Nelson-Streete, Founder & CEO of ACE Solutions, joins hosts Samí Haiman-Marrero and Chris Majocha to discuss these starkly contrasting events from her perspective as a Black woman.
Deloria shares insights on the emotional impact of these back-to-back events and the critical need to address racial trauma and ongoing work in our country. She reflects, "Navigating these feelings as a collective really is like emotional whiplash."
The episode unpacks how injustices and violations of trust, particularly when they occur within one's own home, deeply affect the community’s collective psyche. Deloria comments, "The idea of being violated in your own home, the place that is supposed to be your safe place, is something that you react to."
As a coach and facilitator dedicated to combating bias through training and mentorship, Deloria emphasizes her commitment to collective success and equity. "I celebrate [the Harris nomination], but then I serve, right? Because I have to remember the people behind me," she notes. She adds, "Our body's ability to desensitize certain things so we can keep going is helpful, but it's also injurious."
The conversation also highlights the importance of pausing and responding deliberately in challenging situations to prevent further tragedies. It underscores the need for empathy, awareness, and action to address systemic issues and create a more equitable society. Deloria stresses the role of those who can leverage their privilege—such as race, socioeconomic status, or access—to drive positive change. At the heart of fostering understanding and dismantling biases is education and a mindset shift towards inclusivity and fairness.
