Healing is my Hustle: Poetry for Black Girls a Collection on Trauma & Healing (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798218247225)

In her debut poetry collection, Healing is my Hustle, Donielle Elizabeth masterfully unpacks the complexities of existing in black girl skin, and the healing revelations gathered along the way. Drawing from her personal experiences while confronting the generational traumas of black women, Donielle poetically explores sexual violence, respectability politics, erasure, workplace discrimination, black girl joy, representation, mental health, heartbreak, police brutality, body shaming, black hair hate, and more. Donielle's work honors the legacy of Black women, activists, writers, and matriarchs who amplified the often overlooked black female narrative.Grounded in self-care and self-work, Healing is my Hustle, invites readers to hold space for their pain, while taking agency over their healing.
