Seeking to advance the social and economic equality of Black Americans, Smith presents an eye-opening short story on resilience in the face of adversity and racial discrimination throughout the pandemic. \u201cThis book provides a much-needed education on the struggles that Black Americans face today,\u201d Smith said. \u201cAnd I believe that my story, and other stories from Black voices, will ultimately serve as proof of the miracle of our collective survival and a testament to the strength of our community.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In \u201cBlack Pandemic Chronicles,\u201d Smith offers a look into the life of Trina who is fighting to overcome racial bias during the pandemic. Smith also documents the lives of three Black men who are also attempting to move beyond the barriers of racial oppression throughout the era of COVID. Aiming to provide an insightful history, Smith hopes the narratives of her characters reflect and further advance a wider movement of Black empowerment and serve as a rallying cry for ending racial injustice. Through her writing, Smith aims to inspire personal transformation, shift mindsets, and promote equality for all. \u201cTrina unleashes her inner heroine and affects meaningful change in the lives of others,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI want readers to appreciate that we all have an inner heroine\/hero waiting to be released, and now is the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack Pandemic Chronicles\u201d is available for purchase online at Amazon.com.
