Reflecting on Legacy Through Baldwin's Words 📚 James Baldwin’s 'The Fire Next Time' provides a mirror for the soul. This book provides a profound meditation on legacy, love, and survival. I use this text in bibliotherapy with clients often. In this deeply personal work, Baldwin writes a letter to his nephew, urging him to resist internalizing the destructive narratives imposed by a racist society. One passage that resonates deeply with my clients is: "You can only be destroyed by believing that you really are what the white world calls a n*****. I tell you this because I love you, and please don’t you ever forget it." This powerful declaration invites us to reflect on our own family lineages—the stories we’ve inherited, the pain we’ve carried, and the strength we embody. Baldwin’s words remind us that understanding where we come from can fortify us against forces that seek to diminish us. 🖋 Here are 3 prompts for writing your own reflective letter after reading Baldwin’s masterpiece: 1️⃣ Trace Your Roots: Write about a family member who shaped your identity. What struggles did they face? How do their experiences impact your life today? 2️⃣ Examine Your Inheritance: Reflect on a belief or value passed down in your family. Is it empowering, or does it need to be reexamined? 3️⃣ Speak to the Future: Address a younger family member, sharing lessons from your life and encouragement for their journey. What truths do you want them to carry forward? 💬 Let Baldwin’s letter inspire your own exploration of lineage, love, and liberation. How have you reflected on your family’s history and its impact on who you are?

📚 When the world feels heavy, it can be hard to stay hopeful—but staying aware and engaged matters. I’ve been reading To Stop A Tyrant by Ira Chaleff, and it’s given me so much to reflect on. Chaleff breaks down how political leaders drift toward tyranny—and how we, as everyday people, have more power than we think to stop that slide. It’s not just about voting every four years—it’s about speaking up, holding leaders accountable before harm escalates, and staying vigilant in the face of threats to our freedoms. South Korea recently showed how public resistance can interrupt a dangerous power grab. 🙌🏾 Meanwhile, Trump’s rhetoric and actions, from January 6th to his ongoing pattern of encouraging violence, echo the early stages of historical authoritarian regimes. 🪴 Reflection points for us all: Who do we listen to and trust most when it comes to political leadership? How can we challenge misinformation and hold those in power accountable? What role can you play—whether close to power or far from it—to help protect democracy? Books like Chaleff’s remind us that hope isn’t passive. It’s a practice. Let’s keep learning, speaking out, and showing up—together. Save & share this book rec with a friend who would love it. This is a great buddy read for the times🙏🏽✨ • • • #LiterapyNYC #BibliotherapyinTheBronx #ToStopATyrant #DemocracyMatters #StayEngaged #Bibliotherapy #politicalbooks

Happy Book Birthday to The First and Last King of Haiti: The Rise and Fall of Henry Christophe by Marlene L. Daut! 🎉 As a bibliotherapist who reads with clients, one of my personal reading goals is to slow down, read deeply, and truly immerse myself in the histories behind the stories I engage with on my own time. I’m especially looking forward to taking my time with this powerful new release. Henry Christophe’s life, from enslaved beginnings to revolutionary hero and self-declared king, provides a powerful lens into the Haitian Revolution—one of the most profound liberation movements in global history. Marlene L. Daut brings unparalleled expertise to this history, peeling back myths to reveal a man both noble and flawed. Daut has said (in a 2021 interview with NPR), “To a large extent, the Haitian Revolution is the first Black Lives Matter movement.” The revolutionaries not only rejected the racial hierarchies that justified slavery but redefined the very concept of universal human rights. Their insistence on specificity in declaring all people free continues to hold critical relevance today. I’m grateful for books like this that illuminate the past as a guide for the present. Will you be adding this to your TBR? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️ • • • #booktokfyp #haitian #haitianhistory #libération #LiterapyNYC #BibliotherapyintheBronx #haitianrevolution

💅 New Beginnings, New Connections ☀️💐 As a bibliotherapist and community-builder, I know the power of connection—whether through stories, poetry, or people. Moving from the Bronx to Massachusetts has been one of the most challenging transitions of my life. The holidays felt especially isolating as I longed for the warmth of my community. Yesterday, I decided to carve out a moment of self-care and booked an appointment at Adanie Nails Studio (1350 Main Street, Springfield, MA). What I thought would be a couple of hours for myself turned into something so much more. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Stephanie, the talented studio owner, and her incredible daughter. Stephanie is not only a mompreneur and social worker but also someone who deeply understands the courage it takes to build a business in a new place—she moved to Springfield a year ago to expand her Puerto Rican owned nail studio. The service? Impeccable. I indulged in an acrylic overlay manicure and a spa pedicure with gel polish. The venue? Cozy and inviting. The vibes? Absolutely top-tier. But beyond the nails, what stayed with me was the enriching and fulfilling conversation with someone I look forward to getting to know better. This experience reminded me that new beginnings often hold hidden treasures: new friends, new inspiration, and new places waiting to welcome us with open arms. Sometimes, when we’re brave enough to step into the unknown, we find exactly what we didn’t know we needed.🥹🙏🏽 If you’re in the Springfield area, I can’t recommend Adanie Nails Studio enough for a little pampering and a lot of good energy. Stephanie, thank you for the beautiful nails and for reminding me that community can be rebuilt, one connection at a time. 💅✨ Let’s step into new chapters with open hearts in 2025 - who knows what (or who) is waiting to meet us? 💌 Tag a friend who needs this reminder and check out @adanienails to support Stephanie’s amazing work! • • #mompreneur #adanienailsstudio #Bibliotherapy #SpringfieldMA #DowntownSpringfield #LiterapyNYC #BibliotherapyintheBronx #umoja

Today, I’m celebrating my fellow therapist and colleague, Alishia McCullough, LCMHC, on the release of her debut book Reclaiming the Black Body: Nourishing the Home Within! Alishia explores the often-overlooked impact of disordered eating among Black women and how racial trauma disrupts our relationships with food and our bodies. She brings her expertise as a licensed mental health therapist, somatic healer, and eating disorder specialist to offer a compassionate and culturally affirming path to healing. Through a mix of historical context, client stories, and somatic healing practices, she invites readers to explore a more liberated relationship with our bodies. She includes her own lived experience as a Black woman from the South, a first-generation college student, and the eldest daughter into the narrative. She sheds light on how systemic oppression and generational trauma intersect with body image and eating behaviors, all while centering care and self-compassion. This book is groundbreaking in its approach to healing and how it reclaims narratives often left out of mainstream wellness conversations. It’s a must-read for anyone committed to personal healing, social justice, and collective liberation. Let’s support and celebrate Alishia today! Share this powerful work, spread the word, and let’s keep uplifting voices that are reshaping the mental health landscape. 💜 #BookBirthday #ReclaimingTheBlackBody #Bibliotherapy #literapynyc #bibliotherapyinthebronx #alishiamccullough #newreleases

Happy Book Birthday to ‘DEFY: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes’ by Sunita San! 🎉 I’m grateful for books like this that encourage us to forge our own life path and help us consider the internal and external barriers that may impact our ability to do so. Dr. Sah is a physician turned organizational psychologist who specializes in the study of influence. She looks at the social norms and psychological constraints that keep us compliant. She examines how we can safely oppose oppressive systems, people, laws, employment and more in order to live a life in alignment with our principles. My favorite chapter is Chapter 8: Who Gets to Defy? It’s a thought provoking examination of the hierarchy of defiance that exists in our world and the way compliance is integrally connected with race, authority, and issues of abuse of power. One of my favorite subheadings is about the moral mavericks of our society who stand up for what’s right and the parenting that encouraged their becoming. Sah reminds us that even if we did not receive that role modeling from a parent or caregiver, we can learn to build that defiant muscle by growing in self knowledge. “It is not circumstance that defines our defiance, but our own inner self, our connection to who we truly are and what we truly value.” Save & share this book recommendation with a friend who would love it! • • • • #LiterapyNYC #bibliotherapyinthebronx #manifesto #OneWorldBooks #nonfictionbooktok
