Episode 103: Chantal V. Johnson’s ”Post-Traumatic” Part 1

The Colored Pages Book Club

Hello kittens! Your favorite parallelograms are back for their first book entry of 2023! This week, we're getting into the compelling, humorous, and (almost uncomfortably) relatable tale, Post-Traumatic by Chantal V. Johnson! As the title might suggest, this episode comes with a heavy trigger warning for rape, childhood sexual abuse, family manipulation, and disordered eating, so please take care of yourselves. Though, if you are up to it, this book offers some wonderful insights and commentary on personal ideological alignment, the state of dating for Black millennial women, healing from trauma, the mess of family life, and much more!
