Wonder why we act the way we do? Some call the results of living in 400 years of trauma, as a result of ancestral slavery, a generational curse. No matter what it’s called, Black people must acknowledge and recognize that our health maladies, some characteristics and mannerisms are the direct result of the unrecognized trauma in our lives as Diasporas living in raciest America.
“In the Black community, very few people feel that they have someone reliable and trustworthy to call. As a result, the interplay of stigma, limited knowledge, unexpressed pain, and lack of access conspires to keep many families from overcoming unnecessary cycles of hurt. It is time for a shift. It is time to have more honest conversations. If you are going to reinforce your mind, we are going to have to be honest about the problem at hand.”
“Recognizing the dire state of Black mental health may require that you reject what you have come to understand about what it means to be emotionally healthy. Just because you were able to get the boys fed and off to school with packed lunches and completed homework and get yourself to work with your hair done and clothes coordinated does not mean that all is well. You cannot articulate what it means that you can accomplish all of this yet feel so sad and empty almost all the time. In this book, I will help you gain the language you need to explain what you see and how you feel, from a perspective that makes sense. I aim to share the reality of our mental health crisis and what I have learned about a possible path to Black psychological liberation and well-being.”
