Image one: E-book titled Black Women's Mental Health: Balancing Strength and Vulnerability (2017) - synopsis: This book offers a unique, interdisciplinary, and thoughtful look at the challenges and potency of Black women’s struggle for inner peace and mental stability. It brings together contributors from psychology, sociology, law, and medicine, as well as the humanities, to discuss issues ranging from stress, sexual assault, healing, self-care, and contemplative practice to health-policy considerations and parenting. 

Image two: E-book titled Keeping Heart: A Memoir of Family Struggle, Race, and Medicine (2015) - synopsis: This engaging chronicle illuminates the journeys not only of a black man born with heart disease in the southern Appalachian coalfields, but of his family and community. It fills an important gap in the literature on an under-examined aspect of American experience: the lives of blacks in rural Appalachia and in the non-urban endpoints of the Great Migration. Its emotional power is a testament to the importance of ordinary lives.
