At times we seem to take on the weight of the world. We worry about what we can't control and carry burdens that are not our own...
What burdens do you carry that belong to others?

A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Siah wrote this book for every adult who will be tasked with identifying and dealing with the effects of abuse on children of color. A quick read, the book helps mothers, fathers, grandparents, caregivers, social workers, siblings, and other loved ones know and understand sexual abuse. In it, Siah defines sexual abuse, shines a light on a familiar predatory technique, "grooming", provides statistics, helps us to identify the signs of sexual abuse, and so more.
