Healing Starts with Understanding
LMSW | Advocate for Generational Healing | Creator of Dear Brown Gyal™
I’m Shima B — generational healing advocate, trauma-informed guide, and creator of Dear Brown Gyal™.
My work centers the lived experiences of Caribbean women navigating emotional survival, cultural silence, and the legacy of generational trauma.
I center Caribbean women because that’s my story — but if you feel seen here, this space is for you too. Always.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
I’m available for select collaborations and professional inquiries aligned with my work as an LMSW and advocate for trauma-informed, culturally grounded care.
I’m especially passionate about storytelling as a tool for healing — whether through writing, blog features, or community narratives that honor emotional survival, identity, and generational truth-telling.
My work centers intergenerational trauma, emotional regulation, and culturally responsive wellness — particularly within Caribbean and diasporic Black communities. I welcome opportunities to contribute to aligned projects such as podcast interviews, blog contributions, narrative-based campaigns, and collaborations that amplify healing-centered content.
If your work centers collective care, storytelling, or emotional liberation, I’d love to connect.
