    About this ebook

    "I wish my father had been present in my life, so I would not have accepted a lot of crap from men."
    "Growing up, I didn't feel loved by my mother which caused...."
    "It is hard to find and maintain a solid group of trustworthy girlfriends to do life with."
    "I was devastated by a previous lover and that hurt changed me for the worse."
    "I often don’t feel loved."
    "I’m not happy with how my life turned out."

    If you have ever said any of the above, then this book is for you! This means there may be emotional wounds that are stopping you from living your best life. Disappointments, rejection, competition, overthinking, and family secrets are some of the emotional wounds that cause inner chaos and damage our sense of self. As black girls, we suffer differently, and our history is complex. Nijiama Smalls is all too familiar with the suffering of black girls and shares her personal journey of uncovering the origin of Black girl trauma while also addressing the ongoing process of healing and recovery from wounds caused by past hurts. The beauty of this book is that it provides a prescription for healing in the form of a soul-cleansing process. Enter this journey so that you can be set free to live the life God has planned for you. Sis, it’s time to heal and end the suffering.
