I’ve been on a 30 year healing journey from Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS).

As a person of Jamaican heritage born in the United Kingdom, I share many similar experiences of African Americans, in relation to Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) due to our shared history of slavery, colonialism, and systemic oppression. While the historical contexts and post-slavery trajectories differ in the USA, Jamaica and UK, the psychological, social, and economic legacies show parallels.
