Master Your Depression will help you to recognize that a core contributing factor to the depression you may be experiencing has roots in living in an anti-black society as a colonized black woman. This book will guide you in understanding the external forces that have contributed to your depression, how you have internalized them and how they show up in your life every day. You can expect to gain clarity as to the root causes of your depression as a colonized black woman. You will learn the ways you can begin to gently heal your symptoms so that you can move forward in your life with more love and self-compassion.

Master Your Depression is so important because there are very few books that speak to the emotional and mental well-being of black women and specifically our unique experiences. Most books erase us from the mental health conversation entirely. Or if mentioned treat us as if our experiences are the same as everyone else's. They are not. The emotional and mental wellness of black women is not addressed in its proper social and cultural context which is that of a colonized woman. The colonization of black people has impacted our mental health in a way that has been completely ignored. We have not begun to connect the dots that this is at the root of the mental illness and emotional dysfunction we see in our families and communities.

Because your needs have been overlooked for so long you grapple with feelings of depression. You may feel confused, powerless, or uncertain of what is happening inside of you. You may have been taught to minimize your own feelings. Emotionally you may have mood swings or feel very ungrounded and not in your body. You may have feelings of numbness and not be able to identify your feelings or emotions. It is my intention that after reading Master Your Depression you will experience more clarity and calmness and feel more focused in your life. You will begin to develop the tools that you need to help you begin the process of taking care of yourself in an emotionally healthy way every single day.
