About this event

Join us in the patio area at Femme Fatale on Saturday, October 15th from 2pm to 4pm to wrap up the end of Kiara Imani's DC Book Tour with an open discussion and social gathering.

Joined by ally, Bridget Heidmous, Kiara will touch on the topic of why untold black stories are central to understanding the pervasive race issues in America, and how therapy was essential to her embarking on a journey of understanding, healing, empathy, self-love, and taking control of her personal narrative about what it means to be black in America in the 21st century.

About the Book

Therapy Isn’t Just For White People is a brilliant debut memoir chronicling Kiara’s compelling journey to understand the racial trauma experienced by many Black people in America and the underlying effect it has on Black mental health. Through therapy, Kiara was introduced to the concept of racial trauma and discovered how her own unrecognized racial trauma affected her mental health, self-image, and worldview.
