Reviews
“I love that this book provides historical context for the various behaviors that are displayed amongst Black communities. Marisha teaches us that we must examine our own lives with a magnifying lens and reach out for help to address problems. Continually ignoring troubles and dismissive responses to cries for help are detrimental to us.”
“In this book, the author is not afraid to challenge long-standing notions that our teens are not in need of mental health services and mental health protection. It is a must-read foe parents, grandparents, teachers and caretakers of children, teens and young adults.”
“This was such a powerful and valuable read! More than just a book I hope this will be a tool that families of color will use to break down walls and stereotypes,And build healing and brighter futures! I saw so many of my life experiences in these words and advice!”
