Nobody knows the trouble I've seen : the emotional lives of Black women

Books
Black women are beautiful, intelligent and capable -but mostly they embrace strong. Esteemed clinical psychologist, Dr Inger Burnett-Zeigler, praises the strength of women, while exploring how trauma and adversity have led to deep emotional pain and shaped how they walk through the world. Black women's strength is intimately tied to their unacknowledged suffering. An estimated eight in ten have endured some form of trauma-sexual abuse, domestic abuse, poverty, childhood abandonment, victim/witness to violence, and regular confrontation with racism and sexism. 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen' shows that trauma often impacts mental and physical well-being.
