The Emotional Lives of Black Women

What is it about?

This book review discusses Dr. Inger Burnett-Zeigler's book entitled, 'Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen: The Emotional Lives of Black Women' (2021). The authors reflect on their own emotional journeys and evolution as they meditate on the themes of the book, such as topics of strength, how it is defined by and for black women, parenting, relationships, trauma and healing.

Why is it important?

This article, as well as the book discussed at its center, is a cathartic tool that can help us understand what helps shape the black female identity, for better or worse, and how we can identify, acknowledge and reflect on our traumas in ways that will not perpetuate them, but that may give us the tools to help us understand ourselves and heal.
