Resolving R.A.P.E. Culture allowed me to finally begin to exhale hundreds of years of internalizing dehumanizing messages about my girlhood, my Black Girlhood and my Womanhood that made absolutely no sense to me. My socialization was filled with crystalized messages of purity, being a bad and/or a good girl, smart and/or not so smart girl, and being a proper young lady. Pure exhaustion! The systemic analysis Bro Shack used to reveal the hidden shackles embedded in the silent flame fanning of enslavement rituals of Black people and other people of color that bleed into Betsy Ross's flag can be found here. Capitalism at its best using us as the capital post the. Emancipation Proclamation of freedom.This is not an 'out patient' read. This book cuts deep into the pathology that resides in our culture and continues to plague us until we are ready to slow dance with the truth!
