The “Silence in Sikeston” podcast explores the impact of racial trauma and systemic racial violence on health. The stories of Cleo Wright, lynched in 1942, and Denzel Taylor, killed by police in 2020, are compared, highlighting the long-lasting effects on families. The loss of a parent to violence can lead to increased health risks for children, both psychologically and physically. The podcast delves into how chronic stress from racism affects the health of Black individuals and the intergenerational effects of trauma. The host, Cara Anthony, investigates these issues through personal stories, expert interviews, and research on epigenetics.
