  • Summary

  • As a Black woman growing up in England, Catherine Joy White sometimes felt out of place at home, but also disconnected from the heritage of her Jamaican ancestors. Until she began connecting with the stories of remarkable but often forgotten Black woman from history. Their stories helped her re-envision what beauty means, how silence can also be strength, what "self care" really means, and what courage looks like.

    She found fortitude which, like a thread of gold, can connect all of us to the past, keep us grounded in the present, and point us toward a better future.
