Escape the Cape, From Existing to Evolving: Amplifying Voices of Black
and Brown Women in the Mental Health Profession examines the
narratives of Black and Brown women all over the world who adherently
take on the Superwoman Persona. The imaginative armor of a cape
contributes to the normalcy of trying to “do it all” for others
while neglecting the self. The book amplifies the voices of Black and
Brown women in the mental health and academia professions who needed a
healthy outlet to shed light on their experiences. This book stems
from an asset-based approach where chapter authors highlight the ebbs
and flows they experienced in the workplace due to having melanated
skin and/or identifying as Black and Brown. So many Black and Brown
women have suffered in silence because of exploitive workplace
politics and practices and haven’t felt safe, valued, or heard; the
“need” of Black and Brown women became greater than their
humanity. Escape the Cape, From Existing to Evolving is a call to
action. It contributes to elevating scholarly conversations for
employers who are seeking strategies in promoting equity in the
workplace.
