What happens when pain becomes culture, and silence is mistaken for strength?
In Herd Trauma: The Un-named Crisis, Abubaker Sekatuka fearlessly unpacks the collective trauma embedded in African communities-trauma that is often dismissed, disguised, or denied. Through powerful storytelling, personal reflection, and cultural insight, he invites readers to confront the invisible wounds passed down through generations: from classrooms ruled by shame to homes where boys are taught not to cry and girls are taught they don't matter.
This book explores:
The silent suffering children endure in schools, homes, and religious spaces
How cultural norms and patriarchy suppress emotional expression
The role of teachers, fathers, and authority figures in perpetuating harm
The cost of collective silence and how it breeds intergenerational trauma
A call to healing, language, and reclaiming personal truth
Raw, honest, and unapologetically emotional, Herd Trauma is not just a book-it's a reckoning. For anyone who has ever wondered why they still carry the weight of their childhood or questioned how societal norms shape their emotional world, this is a must-read.
If you were taught to hide your tears, ignore your pain, and accept your suffering-this book will help you name it, feel it, and begin to heal it.
