Episode Synopsis

When words become marks—and empathy becomes infrastructure. Stigma isn’t just a label—it’s a social mark that reshapes identity, opportunity, and belonging. We trace how institutions codify those marks, turning words into barriers that corrode cohesion. Through stories and systems thinking, we ask what happens when discourse defines who belongs—and how empathy can rebuild the infrastructure of inclusion.
