TERRIE WILLIAMS
Black Pain
identifies emotional pain—which uniquely and profoundly affects the Black experience—as the root of lashing out through desperate acts of crime, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, eating and shopping, gambling, and sex. Few realize these destructive acts are symptoms of our inner sorrow. Black people are dying. Everywhere we turn, in the faces we see and the headlines we read, we feel in our gut that something is wrong, but we don’t know what it is. It’s time to recognize it and work through our trauma.

About The Author
Terrie is the author of three successful books:
the business bestseller The Personal Touch: What You Really Need to
Succeed in Today’s Fast-Paced Business World; the inspirational A
Plentiful Harvest: Creating Balance and Harmony through the Seven
Living Virtues; and Stay Strong: Simple Life Lessons for Teens, the
basis for the 2001 launch of The Stay Strong Foundation, a national
non-profit designed to educate and encourage American youth.
Terrie’s current work, a book entitled Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting, will be published by Scribner in January 2008 and will tell the untold story of depression among African-Americans as well as Terrie’s tale of her own chronic and crippling depression—a revealing narrative she shared in the June 2005 issue of ESSENCE magazine.
And she continues to work tirelessly to reach out to individuals who have suffered or are now suffering—from the struggling high school student, to the successful executive who puts forth the daily “mask”, to the gang member, the incarcerated and those who served time but were later proven innocent. Her drive to “save the world” leads her and the efforts of The Stay Strong Foundation to urge corporate and individual responsibility and to offer educational and leadership workshops, internships, and mentoring opportunities for youth. Terrie has a B. A. (cum laude) in Psychology and Sociology from Brandeis University, and an M.S. in Social Work from Columbia University.
