A rallying cry and groundbreaking mental health guide for Black women to build a freer way of living.
For generations, Black women have been expected to carry everything-and everyone-without rest, recognition, or relief. Drawing from liberation psychology, clinical expertise, and lived experience, Raquel Martin, PhD, exposes the so-called "strength" Black women are praised for as a performance and a survival strategy shaped by history, racism, and systemic neglect. Burn The Cape acknowledges this performance and assists Black women not only in saying no more to performances, but also in teaching them how to say yes to themselves.
Burn the Cape is not a traditional mental health book. It is a call to action. A refusal. A movement.
Dr. Martin offers a roadmap to autonomy: helping readers recognize how the Black Superwoman schema shows up in their bodies, relationships, careers, and medical care. For those of us who were taught to be strong long before we were taught to be soft, this book offers language, space, and strategy to live differently. Through culturally resonant chapter titles, storytelling, research, and practical exercises, Martin invites readers to stop performing resilience and start protecting their humanity.
Written for Black women who skip lunch, postpone doctor's appointments, hold families together, and are told-explicitly or not-that rest must be earned, Burn the Cape is also an essential resource for allies, clinicians, educators, and anyone committed to truly supporting Black women's well-being. At its core, this book delivers a radical truth Black women have always deserved to hear: rest is not a reward, strength is not a mandate, and freedom begins the moment you choose yourself.gins the moment you choose yourself.
