Dr. Skyler Jackson: Racism can make you hide part of who you are

Dr. Skyler Jackson shares his early experiences learning about race as a child and the ways his experiences of racism-related rejection as an adolescent led him to conceal his race from an early romantic partner, who he met in an online chat room. His story reveals the complex ways in which racism impacts how a person feels about themself and how it can ultimately make them feel ashamed. Dr. Jackson's experience also highlights the critical need for having a community of people who understand race and who support you. His story also demonstrates how learning about racism—and understanding how it operates—can help to reduce the impact of racism on one's self-esteem and well-being. Finally, Dr. Jackson discusses the ways in which advocating for other groups who face injustice and oppression also helped him regain a sense of agency and empowerment. This segment was filmed when Dr. Jackson was a Counseling Psychology PhD student. Please consider subscribing to the channel and sharing this content.

Racism has been and continues to be a pressing social issue that threatens the mental , academic, vocational, economic, social, and physical health and safety of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
