Part 1: Microaggressions, Protection Against Silent Disrespect
This is Part 1 of a 4-part series on microaggressions, framed through the lens of spiritual purification in preparation for Ramadan.
Microaggressions may seem subtle and harmless, but they are anything but. These small, everyday slights accumulate into patterns that erode confidence, distort self-worth, and set the stage for bigger harms, whether in relationships, communities, or even within ourselves.
This episode explores:
What microaggressions are and how they differ from overt discrimination.
The spectrum of awareness—from calculated subtle attacks to unintentional biases.
How microaggressions shape the brain and train us to tolerate disrespect.
Why these behaviors are not “just jokes” or “small annoyances” but the early signs of emotional harm.
The impact of microaggressions in marriage, community, and personal relationships.
How to recognize, name, and interrupt microaggressions before they become the foundation for toxic dynamics.
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of why microaggressions matter, how they impact you long-term, and the power of awareness to break the cycle.
