The Miseducation of the Privileged explores the limitations of perspective and how the way that we see things, is much more revealing than the image we see with the naked eye. In this novel, the lives of multiple individuals are exposed as they collectively experience a journey of transparency in which none of them took the same path, yet they have arrived at the exact same location. As individual paths are recalled, the shades of rose fade from the glasses of the privileged and they are forced to see the world outside of their own. While fiction, the stories may breed familiarities for some, and hopefully create a more mindful exploration of what we see in others. After all; what we see, may not always be as it seems.

Written specifically for Black women, Removing the Armor is a compilation of activities, journal prompts, quotes, and more to assist the Healing Black woman. This workbook was written and developed by clinical mental health therapist Ashley Nash as she completed her doctoral studies. Removing the Armor covers the research conducted surrounding Ashley's dissertation topic, examining how transgenerational trauma impacts the way that Black, Millennial-aged mothers raise their daughters. Black women lie in an intersection of two heavily oppressed social identities of Race and Gender, which leaves Black women with a grand target for discrimination. We may not be able to change the world into a better place for Black women. However we can change how we react to others. This is our story, no one else should get to tell it. So sis, what's your story?
