People of colour deal with the same day-to-day pressures as everyone else, but they also face additional layers of stress and trauma due to racism, discrimination and prejudice. Still, you can learn to live well – and thrive in the face of such adversity – so long as you have the right tools in your arsenal.

Back Yourself will teach you how to create a new reality for yourself with guidance tailored specifically to people of colour, from a wellbeing and mental health coach who has used the same techniques to protect herself and prosper. 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 brings together social and personal commentary with tools, tips and reflective exercises, all of which will help you to address…

  • Microaggressions 
  • Othering and intercultural conflict 
  • Allyship Identity and colourism 
  • Generational trauma 

… and more.

This book is more than just a guide – it’s a companion on your journey to resilience, healing and holistic wellbeing. The goal is for you to feel inspired, validated, and empowered, and stay that way for the rest of your life.
