Natalie thrives on the love of her family. She is a strong and intelligent woman, supporting a loving husband and raising three children. Natalie, is also a woman who will carry on in the midst of struggle. Quick to encourage others to show vulnerability but slow to allow herself that same emotion, she is often looked as as the “Strong Black Woman.” But when she encounters a significant trauma affecting her entire family, she struggles to allow herself to process her trauma and instead gets trapped in a cycle of reliving her past.
Lexie is the best friend we all need. Becoming besties in college, Lexie and Natalie have shared many groundbreaking life experiences together – marriages, new births, loss, and struggles. But when Natalie experiences the most traumatizing event in her life, Lexie’s support is unwavering and patient. Lexie knows that healing is a marathon, not a sprint. Even if the most she can do is make a simple phone call to ask if Natalie’s okay she’ll be there for as long as she needs.
