About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

If, as perfectly summed up by Toni Morrison, 'the function of racism is distraction', how can we reclaim our focus? How can we, Black people, resist racism without exhausting ourselves?

For the past 15 years, radical psychologist and therapist Guilaine Kinouani has helped hundreds of Black people to protect their mental and physical health from the harm of white supremacy. In this timely book, she brings together powerful case studies, eye-opening research and effective coping techniques from her anti-racist academy and award-nominated blog, Race Reflections, helping listeners to:

  • Set psychological boundaries and process trauma.
  • Protect children from racism.
  • Handle difficult race-based conversations.
  • Understand the complexities of 'Black love'.
  • Find connection, beauty and joy in the world.

Living While Black empowers you to adopt radical self-care tools that improve day-to-day wellness. It teaches you how to thrive not just survive and find hope - or even joy - in the face of racial adversity. It is also an essential anti-racist resource for allies who want to do better.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book put into words what I did not have language for (my overwhelming experience of racial trauma and its manifestations in my life). This book is such a wonderful gift on my journey to healing from severe racial trauma. I connected with this book on such a profound level. I’ve never heard or read anything like it. This book blessed me so much and gave me hope and tools for recovering and thriving from my racial trauma wounds.

AMAZING!!!
