And Sometimes There Are Tears is the second book in the innovative new series In Words of Our Own: Black Women and Being, by and about Black Canadian women that centres Black feminist perspectives. This engaging text explores Black women's journeys toward well-being, healing, and collective liberation, while also challenging narrow Eurocentric and individualistic definitions of wellness that routinely overlook Black women's lived realities, particularly within Canadian contexts shaped by systemic anti-Black racism and sexism.Through interdisciplinary and multi-genre contributions, including academic research, personal narratives, poetry, and dialogue, the contributing scholars explore how wellness is shaped by experiences such as misogynoir, internalized anti-Blackness, the "Strong Black Woman" archetype, and inequities within the health and social systems. Rather than treating well-being as a fixed or purely clinical outcome, this collection presents it as a dynamic, relational process rooted in history, embodiment, and community.And Sometimes There Are Tears reimagines healing as a form of political resistance. Contributors foreground spiritual practice, ancestral connection, storytelling, and community care as essential strategies for surviving and flourishing within Black spaces. By honouring diverse ways of knowing and refusing rigid boundaries between academic and creative work, this powerful and deeply reflective text offers students and scholars a powerful framework for understanding wellness as inseparable from justice, care, and collective action.

This collection highlights how Black women's labour is often perceived as invisible or hyper-visible depending on social convenience, while also demonstrating how Black women respond to systemic injustice through practices such as othermothering, educational advocacy, and community organizing. Rather than presenting labour as a neutral activity, this collection frames work as relational, historically grounded, and inseparable from collective struggle and liberation.Contributors centre Black feminist perspectives, storytelling, and collective mobilizations as strategies for challenging systemic oppression and imagining new futures for Black women and their communities. By bridging academic analysis with lived experience, this text offers students and scholars in Black Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, Diaspora Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Labour Studies a critical framework for understanding Black women's labour as central to justice, care, and collective empowerment.
