“Black generational trauma is a cycle. It’s ingrained in our DNA. The Black population statistically has higher blood pressure and is more prone to heart disease, which makes COVID-19 a death sentence. The reason Black people are dying at a faster rate due to COVID-19 all circles back to generational trauma: the anxieties of living as a Black person in America.” – @yomatisse ⠀
