Then it was the trauma of being enslaved.
Then it was the trauma of that experience, and then it was the trauma of being raped.
And there was the trauma of your children being taken away.
And then you bring it forward and you go through the reconstruction period of time and how the trauma happened to Black people then, you go through the 50s and the 60s and the civil rights and the trauma that happened to black people then.
And then here I come, I was born in 1965 in the middle of civil rights, and so it wasn't just one thing.
So then it's trauma upon trauma upon trauma upon trauma that is there.
And so how long it can last, how many generations it can last, I'm not really sure of that.
But what I do know is that if you don't have the experience to be able to heal, then that trauma remains there.
And you know, Black women and Black girls when they were enslaved, when and where did they have the opportunity to heal?
It wasn't there.
And so much of what we have learned is swallow your pain because no one cares anyway.
No one's gonna do anything for me, no one's coming to save you.
And so that trauma just continues to be relived over and over again.
