Back Yourself

Back Yourself is an easy-to-read, thorough self-help guide designed to show millennial and Gen Z Black, Indigenous & People of Colour (BIPOC) how to live well and thrive in the face of adversity. People of colour deal with many of the same day-to-day stresses as everyone else, but sadly also face additional layers of stress and trauma due to racism, discrimination and prejudice. Back Yourself will teach you how to create a new reality for yourself with guidance tailored specifically to people of colour. It blends elements of the social, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects of life for a well-rounded and holistic approach to BIPOC wellbeing.Each chapter is a mix of social and personal commentary with tools, tips and reflective exercises, covering everything from microaggressions, othering and intercultural conflict, to identity and colourism, to generational trauma and family dynamics. The goal is for you to feel inspired, validated, understood, and empowered – and stay that way for the rest of your life.
