About this listen
Taking care of your mental health is the first step to changing the world for Black people everywhere. Here’s how:
2020 was a turning point, a revolution, and an inspiring time to fight for what’s right.
The Black community has been suffering from racial discrimination for centuries, and the death of George Floyd sparked a rallying cry that traveled to every corner of the world.
From every state in the United States of America to Seoul in South Korea, people defied the restrictions of COVID-19 to fight for the rights of every Black person on this planet.
They fought to avenge their loved ones who fell victim to racial violence; they fought to protect themselves; and they are still fighting to give their children a better future.
When you see these triggering images of violence against black people, it could ignite a traumatic experience.
Whether it’s racial discrimination at work, racial bullying at school, or even the lack of diversity in your community, Black Trauma is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
It could be recent trauma, ancestral trauma, or anything in between.
Understanding Black Trauma puts your mental health above all else.
This guide will support you in fighting for a greater cause, but you cannot start a revolution without overcoming your own traumas first.
You can reignite that courage inside you, hold your head up high, and raise your fist to the sky, with a healthy mind filled with admiration.
It’s time to deal with Black Trauma.
It’s time to fight the real fight the right way.
In Understanding Black Trauma, you will discover:
- Eleven highly-proven steps that deal with your Black Trauma to give you the mental capacity to keep the fight going
- How your racial identity is developed over time–an effective way to unlearn any misinformation and stereotypes about the Black community
- A breakdown of internalized racism that will help you uncover the meaning, how it works, and how to deal with it
- A trip down memory lane to give you a real sense of the birth of racism and Black Trauma–find out who is really affected and how to treat it
- Racism in all aspects of your social life, from discrimination in your relationships to discovering your inner self, to tackle Black Trauma head on
- An effective route to become a Black Activist–learn the right information to spread and how to educate those around you
- The power of safe spaces in the Black community and what emotional discussions and gatherings can do for your mental health
- Your duty as a Black person and how you should help others, as well as yourself, to heal and beat your Black Trauma
- And much more
Community. It’s always called the Black community for a reason.
Some say it in vain, but that’s not the reason.
Black people face the same struggles on a day-to-day basis. Whether they’re friends or rivals, there’s no denying that.
Your Black Trauma will cower in a community of loved ones.

Story
Freedom from unnecessary suffering is the goal of both Buddhism and modern psychotherapy, yet each approaches this intention from a very different perspective. "Buddhist practice helps us awaken to a well-being that is independent of our circumstances," explains Bruce Tift, "while Western psychotherapy helps us bring our disowned experience into awareness in order to live in a more skillful and satisfying way."

These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Like having a therapist in your pocket
Such an important topic to discuss as it effects everyone in society. This book is a must for anyone suffering from racial trauma. The author brings her extensive expertise as a therapist by clearly explained what racial trauma is and how your individual experience could be crippling your life.
She explains how you can change your perception from the inside out and then gives you the tools to release trauma from your body. From movement to meditation to journaling and most importantly blocking out the detrimental effects of social media. Keeping connected to actual people in your community by sharing and laughing and she helps you forgive as well.
I appreciate her approach to integrate within society and understand that not all white people are racist. This book is like having your own personal therapist, you’ll want to read this over and over. A very important book for all people.

Trauma is real
It is so funny how we black folks does not always recognize that we do experience trauma not even thinking that it has an impact on our lives.
Recognizing that trauma is resl and making good use of the various self Care activities and the different ways of dealing with trauma in our lives so that we can be better people. I will recommend this book to anyone who has experienced trauma.

A powerful book for struggling with identity
Powerful! This author has put so much time and effort into a book that is here to help black people who have or are struggling with issues or racism and their own identity of being a black person. The author sets up the book to first start addressing the issue of being comfortable with who you are within your skin. Understanding your identity is crucial for any person. Still, identifying with your racial identity can be much more difficult depending on the situations and environments you have already been exposed to.
Chapter 4 dives into these experiences and provides the guidance needed to start addressing these experiences and to begin to grieve them. Carrying around the weight of the situation without ever addressing it can lead to many more issues and not allow you the freedom to close that chapter and grow from it.
Racism has always been around and, unfortunately, is not likely to disappear any time soon. Still, the author does a great job in several chapters to try to encourage you to help build a better community, reach out to others, help others heal, and even how to become an activist in helping shape change in the black community. What’s nice is at the end of each chapter, the author also does a quick summary to review what you have learned and the next steps.
