A Compassionate Journey to Healing for All Members of the Black Family and Allies

  • I don’t know why I sabotage myself
  • I want to understand how to control my anger and/or emotions
  • I want to put an end to the toxic generational cycles that control my family
  • I’ve lost a lot of time and it bothers me
  • I want to be a good partner to my spouse
  • I’ve been hurt by the church, and it shook me
  • My childhood wounds are holding me back from experiencing healthy relationships
  • I was neglected and abused as a child, and it still haunts me
  • I work with diverse populations and want to understand the Black Community

If any of these statements resonate with you, then this is the book for you!

Most of our individual and family problems can be attributed to an unhealed place inside each of us. Filled with vivid examples, tools, healing activities, and interactive exercises, this book is designed to help every member of the Black Family heal so that we can live a life filled with success, love, and God-given purpose. Let’s heal to pass down generational wellness to our loved ones.
