In the wake of such trauma, women\u2013\u2013especially brown women\u2013\u2013are often left feeling broken, lost, and empty, while still having to maintain a home, a career, and a family. To help survivors go from victim to victor, Dr. Cynthia Sutherland has written Letters to My Brown Girls.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>FORT WASHINGTON, MD &#8211; May 11, 2022 &#8211;<\/strong> In <em>Letters to My Brown Girls<\/em>, abuse victor, public speaker, and bestselling author Cynthia Sutherland shines a light on the dark subject of childhood abuse. An example of adversity and resilience, her story serves as proof that you, too, can heal from your traumatic experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>&ldquo;Writing this book was no easy task. I&rsquo;m not a psychiatrist nor a psychologist. I had no clue how to write this book or what I wanted to put in it. All I knew was that I wanted to share resources and other information on how to heal from the curse of childhood abuse with other brown women who suffered from the same trauma,&rdquo;<\/em> says Sutherland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The topics covered in <em>Letters to My Brown Girls<\/em>, such as the acknowledgment phase, forgive phase, transition phase, and rebirth phase (A.F.T.R. Framework for transition); Sutherland&rsquo;s memories and letters of comfort; coping resources; and empowerment exercises, help you confront and move past your environment of hurt and pain. Additionally, Sutherland&rsquo;s four-phase transformation, the A.F.T.R. Framework, is the balm and catalyst for overcoming your mental and emotional barriers and becoming your best self.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sutherland&rsquo;s wish with <em>Letters to My Brown Girls<\/em> is for brown girls to have the resources they need to travel along their coping journey. The book focuses on healing the damages to a child&rsquo;s emotional and mental abilities from the moment their trust is stolen until they have overcome the trauma they have faced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>&ldquo;Each story and memory is offered as living proof that you are not alone in your journey to overcome childhood abuse. I feel honored that you chose me as your companion,&rdquo; <\/em>says Sutherland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cynthia Sutherland, D.Sc. is an abuse victor, public speaker, and author who overcame mental health obstacles to become a decorated Army veteran, award-winning national and global cybersecurity leader, and a Doctor in Cybersecurity. She provides a lifeline of resources to educate, heal, and empower survivors to break the curses of abuse.
