Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit gives language to what so many Black people have long felt, naming the emotional, physical, psychological, and generational toll of racism.
The second edition of Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit is available now wherever books are sold!
Whenever possible, we encourage you to purchase from a Black-owned bookstore or other independently owned bookstore.
Mary-Frances Winters (she/her/hers) and Mareisha N. Winters Reese (she/her/hers) are a mother–daughter duo and co-owners of The Winters Group, Inc., a global consulting firm grounded in the belief that people do their best work when their humanity is acknowledged, and their lived experiences are respected. Together, they are committed to naming harm, fostering healing, and creating conditions for collective wellbeing.
Mary-Frances coined the term Black fatigue to give language to the cumulative toll of racism on the mind, body, and spirit—something many Black people have long felt but rarely had named. Mary-Frances and Mareisha carry forward a multigenerational legacy rooted in truth-telling, care, and the courage to imagine and help create a future that works for all of us.
We are excited to announce the companion book to Black Fatigue!
Black Fatigue gave language to an intergenerational phenomenon many Black people have long carried but perhaps could not name.
Healing Black Fatigue: How Practices for Renewal, Joy, and Reclaiming Our Humanity explores how Black people and communities can live, remain whole, and even flourish amid persistent racialized stress.
Available October 20.
