Black/African-American women have grappled with the burden of oppression and microaggressions daily. The vision of this book is to shine a spotlight on the enduring legacy of trauma that Black/African-American women bear and perpetuate through generations. In clinical terms, it might be labeled as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or transgenerational trauma. Still, for the Black/African-American women, it's the reality of life. It is the reality of generational trauma bestowed upon the lives of Black women. This book is a vital contribution to the mental health field, shedding light on the overlooked experiences of Black/African-American women and their resilience in the face of enduring trauma. This book aims to aid mental health professionals to be attuned to the unique needs of this demographic and to cultivate a deeper understanding of their lived experiences to provide adequate care and support.
