How can we address the legacy of white supremacy as a conscious Black individual in America? How can we transition from a place of harm to one where healing is possible? Welcome to the Sick Mind of a Sane Person has garnered acclaim for its thought-provoking analysis of racism, earning prestigious accolades such as the International Impact Book Award for Personal Growth and Development on Racism and Discrimination, the Literacy Global Book Award for African American Non-Fiction and DEI, and the Regal Summitt Book award for Non-Fiction. This anthology of poems, short stories, and critical essays offers a timely and profound exploration of why we continue to grapple with oppressive structures in America. Welcome to the Sick Mind of a Sane Person: Deconstructing Racism and White Supremacy is an essential read for those seeking to understand and dismantle the enduring impact of racism and white supremacy.
