Since the Stephon Clark police shooting in March, a type of talk group called Emotional Emancipation Circles has emerged in Sacramento neighborhoods that are dealing with race-based trauma. These groups led by and for people of African descent offer residents a safe space to talk about and heal from their struggles.

CapRadio reporters Sammy Caiola and Adhiti Bandlamudi have been exploring how these groups function and why they came to be. Caiola joins Insight to share what they've learned.
