5 Stars - A Powerful and Transformative Listen
Reviewed: 11-15-24
“Black Fatigue” by Mary-Frances Winters is an absolute must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the pervasive and chronic effects of systemic racism on Black individuals. The audiobook format, narrated with passion and clarity, makes this already essential content even more impactful.
Winters brilliantly unpacks the concept of Black fatigue, illuminating the cumulative, intergenerational toll of racial oppression. She combines powerful personal narratives, historical context, and data-driven insights to articulate the exhaustion that many Black people experience but may struggle to put into words. Each chapter is both eye-opening and validating, resonating deeply as it explores everything from microaggressions in the workplace to larger societal injustices.
This is more than a book; it’s a call to action. It challenges listeners to confront their own biases, consider the ongoing impact of systemic racism, and engage in meaningful change. Whether you’re just beginning your journey toward understanding racial equity or are well-versed in these topics, “Black Fatigue” will leave you feeling informed, energized, and ready to take action.
I highly recommend this audiobook for its insightful, thought-provoking content and compelling delivery. It’s a powerful reminder of the urgent need for racial justice and an invaluable resource for anyone committed to creating a more equitable society.

Story
It is easy to be depressed if you live in a neighborhood that has few supportive resources available or is marred by gun violence. We are able to diagnose people with depression, but how does one heal a neighborhood? This City Is Killing Me brings policy and psychology together. Through case studies, Jonathan Foiles opens up his therapy door to allow us to overhear the stories of individual poor Chicagoans. Through statistics and the example of Chicago, he teaches us how policy decisions have contributed to these individuals’ suffering.

Ooo God I thank you.
Tab, you have no idea how much I needed every bit of the wisdom wrapped up in this book. I’m in a transition and constantly facing fear about it. You have inspired and lovingly pushed me in more ways than one.
Blessings to you Auntie. 💕

Story
Social worker, activist, and cultural commentator Feminista Jones explores how Black women are changing culture, society, and the landscape of feminism by building digital communities and using social media as powerful platforms. As Jones reveals, some of the best-loved devices of our shared social media language are a result of Black women’s innovations, from well-known, movement-building hashtags (#BlackLivesMatter, #SayHerName, and #BlackGirlMagic) to the now ubiquitous use of threaded tweets as a marketing and storytelling tool.
