Dear Black woman, you are not alone.
God has not disregarded your pain and suffering. God sees you. God knows you. God understands.
In Black Woman Grief, Natasha Smith unearths a painful reality that is tangled within our nation’s roots and DNA: trauma, loss, and grief are embedded in the lived experience of the Black woman in the United States.
