Weathering the Storm

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Townsend's empowering and illuminating text, Weathering the Storm, weaves together insightful themes from history, psychology, sociology, and political science. She beautifully integrates personal stories in ways that are transparent, engaging, and life-giving. Based in both scholarship and inspiration, Townsend's writing unpacks concepts of gaslighting, racial trauma, healing, and community action in ways that cultivate hope as well as practical steps toward collective liberation.”
