by Brodie Proctor (Author)

Brodie explores mental health within Black households, addressing the cultural, historical, and systemic barriers that have stigmatized therapy and emotional vulnerability. It delves into the deeply ingrained narratives of strength and resilience, such as the "strong Black woman" and "strong Black man" tropes, and examines their impact on mental health. Through practical guidance, personal stories, and culturally specific strategies, the book provides actionable steps for families, communities, and institutions to break the silence around mental health and embrace therapy as a vital tool for healing. Highlighting the roles of schools, churches, and community centers, as well as the influence of media and representation, it calls for a collective effort to normalize mental health care and create a new legacy of emotional well-being for future generations.
