Memoried and Storied: Healing Our Shared History of Racial Violence (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781970107326)

The purpose of her writing is to advocate for the vulnerable who may not have visibility or a voice in their communities. She hopes her work leads others to join together in multi-racial coalitions to learn an accurate and inclusive Black History, and believes that in memorializing the stories and the victims of racial injustice, we may repair the trauma and tell the true story of structural racism in America. Since 1976, Dr. Judith Reifsteck has worked as a writer, licensed professional counselor, university professor, social science researcher, and psychotherapist. In 2016, she retired from teaching and psychotherapy to write full-time. Dr. Reifsteck is a mother, grandmother, and community volunteer for racial justice coalitions. She writes narrative non-fiction, editorials, and essays.

During her work as an individual and family counselor for forty years, Dr. Reifsteck worked with trauma victims, refugees, and those in recovery. She also taught and conducted research from a systemic perspective. In the college classroom, she taught Lifespan Human Development, Abnormal Psychology, and Trauma Healing and Reconciliation.
