Charlottesville folks! Please come out and support my dear friend Nicole who is signing her new book at the Barrack’s Road Barnes N Noble until 4pm!
Here is what her IMPORTANT work is about:
In this unflinching and vulnerable book, psychologist Nicole Wordlaw exposes the impact of intergenerational trauma and internalized race and gender narratives, through the lens of a Black woman seeking spiritual freedom on her own terms.
Waking Up Alone is part memoir, part map: a vulnerable, fiercely honest exploration of what it means to awaken as a Black woman born into a nation rooted in complex trauma; a nation in which limiting stories about race, gender, and spiritual awakening capture the collective consciousness.
