A MEMOIR OF HEALING AND RECLAMATION
Why She Like That?
One Woman's Journey Through Generational Trauma and the Healing Power in Going Back
"This book is part of my healing journey—a witness to what happens when we choose to
speak instead of suffer in silence."
— De Shell Parker
ABOUT THE AUTHOR -
A Social Worker.
A Survivor. A Truth-Teller.
As a lifelong social worker, she has walked beside countless people carrying pieces of her own story—surviving, but never given the chance to pause, reflect, and heal. Too often, families were never taught how trauma shows up and takes over.
This book is her offering: a testimony that healing is possible, that secrets and silence can be broken, and that we can take our power back.
"I am human. I am perfectly imperfect. And this is my truth."
INSIDE THE BOOK:
This book is part of my healing journey—a witness to what happens when we choose to speak instead of suffer in silence. My story is not unique, but it is mine. And in telling it, I reclaim power, invite healing, and offer others permission to do the same.
Trauma, when faced with courage, can become more than pain—it can become a path to evolution. Healing is not a checkbox; it is a lifelong journey that requires bravery, honesty, and the willingness to let go. I no longer stand inside my story; I now stand on it. I’ve let it hurt, let it bleed, and now I let it heal.
