Welcome back to Book React Series 12, where we’re reading Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit by Mary-Frances Winters. In Episode 2, we begin Chapter One: “My Black Fatigue”, where the author shares her personal experience as a Black woman navigating the daily, cumulative impact of racism.

This chapter grounds the book in lived experience—offering not just theory, but testimony. Winters reveals how even as a successful professional and educator, she is not exempt from the exhaustion that comes from decades of microaggressions, systemic injustice, and racial trauma. Her story shows us that Black fatigue is not just abstract—it’s embodied, persistent, and generational.

📖 Join us as we read with empathy and curiosity, centering the voice and vulnerability that open this important conversation.
