BLACK PAIN
IMPORTANT, GROUNDBREAKING
& A MUST READ
ON THE ISSUE OF DEPRESSION
With Forewords by
Mary J. Blige & Susan Taylor

“Black Pain shines a spotlight on the issue, getting the message
out that we must identify, understand, and seek the help we need
to heal.”
─Danny Glover, Actor/Activist
“It boldly confronts the reality of our pain head on, flowing like hot
lyrics over the perfect beat.”
─Sean “Diddy” Combs
“Black Pain shows us how to recognize that depression that may
be hidden away and deal with it. It pushes us to give a voice to the
pain without passing it on to others.”
─Patti LaBelle
“Terrie dares to bring out what so many have not had the courage
to confront, having learned that you can never heal until you expose
what hurts you. Black Pain is an opportunity to reach your
breakthrough moment.”
─Rev. Al Sharpton
“Black Pain takes a candid and in-depth look at depression in
black America. The book provides hope to those who battle with
the disease and offers an understanding for the friends and loved
ones who care for them. I highly recommend this book.”
─Bishop T.D. Jakes, Senior Pastor, The Potter’s House
“Black Pain is a wake up call, helping us see what happens when
we drop the ball on ourselves by neglecting our mental and
emotional health.”
─Iyanla Vanzant, author and spiritual life coach
“Terrie Williams is the grand freedom fighter of her generation in
the realm of public relations within mass media. She has inspired
me for decades. This book reveals the depth of her courage and
compassion. Don’t miss it!”
