Dr. Yazeed has both lived experience as a workplace trauma survivor AND professional experience helping others to vocational safety. She skillfully weaves her personal and professional experiences in a way that validates your feelings while offering clear directions for how to not just survive but THRIVE!!! The activities and coloring pages are well-placed and feel like rest stops on a tiring journey. I WISH this resource existed when I was in a toxic workspace. BUT, I am glad it’s here now. It was the food my soul STILL needed many years later.

The book not only helps work through the healing process but, it opens your eyes to the extreme trauma women of color silently carry within. It is something all women should read to help heal as well as gain the perspective of the women we work with. Let’s heal together.

I’ve been connected to Dr. Yazeed on social media for some time and have listened to the stories of women traumatized by the environments they have to also make a living. Dr. Yazeed has also shared her own trauma and has created a resource for us to turn our traumas into triumphs. “Unbreak My Soul” encourages the writer to use the power of the pen and their words as a witness, to create systems of support, and ultimately plan to break free from the chaos. “Unbreak My Soul” can be the accountability partner to the user to make documentation a regular practice. I encourage all professional women of color to get a copy of this book to help put words to the pain and reclaim their peace and healing. For some of us, we love the work that we do and we should not be hindered by the environments and cultures that refuse to acknowledge the pain that is inflicted and continues to go unaccounted for.

Dr. Yazeed’s clear and relatable writing style makes this very important work accessible and practical for any Black woman attempting to heal from trauma caused by working in corporate America. She provides actionable guidance focused on her target audience that can be put into practice right away.Highly recommend!

There is something special about going through a journey of healing after facing such adversity and workplace trauma. This book truly helped to redirect my focus and see the confidence that had previously been obliterated by those I worked for. It also helped with fine tuning what I needed for my own business. Lastly, it’s a reference back to when I need a pick me up in the future. Highly recommend.

I am a verified purchaser of this book. The title alone compelled me to purchase it. I pre-ordered it. I started reading this book upon receipt and cannot put it down. This is a topic that is long overdue for discussion in America. It does not just pertain to corporate America, but to Academia (including professionals in K-12, colleges and universities, but also to K-upper graduate students that attend those schools), non-profits, the health care industry, and every industry and arena in America. Rarely does an author broach this important topic. Do yourself a favor and read this book with an open mind.I do not understand why Amazon deemed the content of this book as “sensitive material”. Sensitive for whom? Why?I will write another review when I have completed the book. Just wanted to weigh in on what I’ve read this far!

Thank you, Dr.Yazeed and colleagues, for authoring this dynamic book. I wish I had access to this gem in the workplace! I am now retired and at present authoring a book about childhood and teen traumas when left unresolved.I will use the knowledge gained to help others. These worksheets are so helpful in looking back. I have been able to identify two workplaces where I was totally traumatized! Everyone manages trauma in different ways, thank you for sharing pathways for healing. Be Blessed.

For those of us who already follow the good doctor on LinkedIn and are already aware…this book is no surprise. Written with insight, thoughtfulness and authenticity- it is a stepping stone for your journey. It prompts self reflection while guiding next steps. You are not alone! A Black woman’s lived experience is unique to us. Understand, dissect and make the needed changes- this book will help us all keep our sanity!

Love this book. Just spoke about it today. As someone who is currently going through racial trauma at work, this book has been helpful. I found myself coloring and I remember thinking about how peaceful and calm I felt.

In Unbreak my Soul, Dr. Yazeed weaves her personal journey with her professional expertise to unapologetically create a practical guide for black women working to heal and recover from workplace trauma.She powerfully describes the sobering truth for many black women but her words still offer hope and possibility for readers who find themselves navigating toxic workspaces.Although trauma informed, the book is not trauma focused. Dr. Yazeed masterfully includes excellent healing-centered practices to guide readers through a healing process.It is an excellent resource!
