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.
