Black Religious Trauma
Empowering Healing & Embracing Resilience
At Nikki G Speaks, I understand the profound impact of religious abuse & trauma within the Black community. While I recognize that faith has been a source of strength for many, it can be intertwined with experiences of abuse, trauma, and neglect, for others.
My programs are crafted to honor your personal journey and helping you reclaim your spiritual autonomy. Whether through one-on-one coaching, group coaching, educational workshops, or speaking engagements, I am committed to supporting you as you heal from past wounds and live a resilient, empowered future!
Understanding The Journey
The Historical Legacy of African-American Spirituality
Nikki, discusses the rich history and cultural significance of African American spirituality, recognizing its role as a source of resilience, identity, and community within the Black experience.
Navigating Religious & Spiritual Abuse
Whether it's talking to a client or on a social media post, Nikki, acknowledges and validates the pain resulting from the lived experiences of religious and spiritual abuse. In coaching, educational workshops, and speaking engagements, Nikki explores the dynamics of power, control, and manipulation that can occur within religious contexts, and provide insights into recognizing and healing from these wounds.
Unpacking Black Religious Trauma
Religious trauma refers to the psychological and emotional distress experienced as a result of harmful religious teachings, practices, or experiences. It can leave lasting effects on individuals, including those within the Black Community. However, the term Black Religious Trauma refers to the unique experience of what religious trauma looks like within the culture of Black Churches and Black Spiritual Communities.
At Nikki G Speaks, Nikki sheds light on the impact of religious abuse and trauma on the spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. She also cultivates an understanding of the complex interplay between race, faith, identity, and trauma, and offer pathways to healing and reclaiming personal agency.
