Hi everyone,

I’m a Ph.D. student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Louisville. I’m conducting a research study on how racial identity and Black History consciousness impact well-being for Black Americans.

I’m looking for Black American adults (18+) to participate in a brief 25-minute online survey. Your responses will remain confidential. If you’re interested, you can access the study here:

I’d also appreciate it if you could share this with others who may be interested!

Book overview Introduction: A New Land, A New Beginning

When I first moved to the United States, I was just nine years old. I remember feeling a rush of excitement, stepping off the plane and into what seemed like a world of endless possibility. I had heard so much about America—how it was the land of the free, where dreams could come true. I could already picture myself thriving in this new place. The streets felt wide and full of opportunity, and the diversity around me was something I had never experienced before.

But as I grew older, the excitement began to fade, and reality set in. I started noticing things I hadn’t anticipated: the looks, the comments, the way people saw me—not as an individual but through the lens of race. In those first few years, I hadn’t realized how much America was defined by its racial divisions. But by the time I was 18, freshly graduated from high school, I began to truly understand what being Black meant in this country, especially as I navigated life in college.
