I am my Sisters' Keeper: The Brown girls guide to Radical Healing

Radical Healing is healing that is necessary as a result of living in an oppressive environment. Radical healing is unique because it focuses on the unique experiences of Black women, Indigenous women, immigrant women, and other women of color. As women of color in this country, we have resisted racial/ethnic oppression and sexism for many generations, and although our communities have been resilient, radical healing allows us to highlight the strengths that are responsible for this resilience. In other words, radical healing involves taking a look at how living as a person of color, woman, or both have impacted your wellness. The focus of this workbook is radical healing because healing is CRUCIAL to mental health. Radical healing involves identifying and acknowledging past traumas. Radical healing also involves highlighting each woman's individual strength, and strengths of their community. Radical healing walks you through practices that promote resilience and well-being for women of color and challenges you to become an agent of change in your community. While strategies that are more western in origin are included in this workbook, many of the strategies discussed will be based on cultural and indigenous ways of healing. This approach to Radical Healing is revolutionary because it encourages women of color to use resources and traditions that we already possess in order to strengthen and improve our lives. This is your opportunity to heal. After all, WE have to make US better.
