Show Notes

“Overcoming learned helplessness starts with gratitude. We cannot control the privileges we start with in life. But if you take inventory of what you control and seize the opportunities that are available, the results can be astounding.” —K. Braeden Anderson

Having overcome a series of socioeconomic and racial barriers, founder of the Black Resilience Foundation, Braeden Anderson, joins us to discuss how gratitude helps us overcome learned helplessness, which is so often behind the negative, sometimes destructive cycles within African American communities.

About The Book BLACK RESILIENCE embodies the conversations that the author—a Black practicing attorney and former athlete—has been having with Black mentees, friends, bosses, and peers over the course of his career and his life.

The fact is, despite the powerful message of #BlackLivesMatter and the verbal assurance accompanying it, many Black people are still frustrated. Many of us are cynical, and tired of feeling helpless.

The ultimate message of the book is that we—Black people—have the power to effect positive change in our lives and our communities.

BLACK RESILIENCE shows us how.

Readers will get an honest, empowering roadmap to address concerns ranging from white privilege, the dichotomy of inclusion, and learned helplessness to the challenge and triumph of Black parenthood. They’ll learn how to deploy what the author calls our covert operation of tact. And they’ll see, as the author addresses in the book’s last chapter, that we—Blacks and whites—must build one community.

BLACK RESILIENCE is a plan, it is a goal, and it is a path that we passionately believe belongs in the hands of every reader concerned about how to overcome bias and racism in this country.
