A time to mourn and a time to dance. | | Sheila Wise Rowe has spent over twenty-five years professionally counseling abuse and trauma survivors. So it’s not a shock that she has written a book designed to help readers walk the path of healing in their own lives. But what may surprise you is this: Rowe’s book approaches the healing journey through the lens of giftedness. Specifically, stories of the “Young, Gifted, and Black.”
“For those who have been ostracized, minimized, and stereotyped,” writes Rachel C. Varghese in her review, “this book validates the pain and grief caused by racial trauma and encourages Black men and women to work on rewriting their stories through the healing journey.”
Varghese’s review, Rowe’s book, and several other stories featured at CT this week speak to the stories of Black Americans whose lives have been characterized by both lament and celebration. In honor of Black History Month, we encourage you to check out one of the articles, videos, or podcasts below: How Powerful Stories of Black Excellence Call All Image-Bearers to Do Better Police Stole My Dignity.
