Building Bridges of Empathy at Home

How do families break cycles of inherited bias?

In this reflective video, Dr Shungu H. M’gadzah explores how unconscious beliefs, assumptions, fears, and comfort zones are often passed down quietly within families across generations.

Using the Six Stages Framework lens, this video examines:

• How families develop “distorted lenses”

• The role of comfort zones and “caves”

• Why inherited narratives matter

• The impact of “banter” and everyday language

• How empathy can be intentionally taught

• Practical reflection questions families can use together

This is not about blame.

It is about awareness, growth, and consciously choosing what we pass on to the next generation.

Questions explored:

• What beliefs did we inherit?

• Whose voices were missing?

• What assumptions are we unknowingly transmitting?
