Episode Description

Clinical psychologist Dr. Inger Burnett-Zeigler joins Zibby to discuss her new book, Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, which grew from her 2018 New York Times article, "The Strong and Stressed Black Woman." Inger and Zibby talk about the different ways in which Black women are sharing their experiences through both fiction and non-fiction, the effects of intergenerational trauma, and how Inger's grandmother not only inspired her to write this book but to also claim all of the goodness the world has to offer.
