Rest and Rise: Political Grief and Anxiety Guide by Dr. Iman Hypolite

Rest and Rise: A Political Grief and Anxiety Guide

A resource for Black women navigating the emotional toll of political uncertainty and social disruption.

This moment in our history is unlike any we have known.

For many, it has brought a deep, unfamiliar grief: the kind that emerges slowly, as though the ground beneath us has shifted without warning.

You may find yourself feeling emotionally stretched, withdrawn, or even numb.

You may be struggling to reconcile what is happening around you with your values, your work, and your daily rhythms.

This toolkit was created with you in mind.

It names what has been difficult to articulate and offers a thoughtful space to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Whether you are feeling disillusioned, exhausted, or unsure how to respond to all that is unfolding, this guide offers language, prompts, and strategies to help you protect your energy, discern your next steps, and remain intact.

This is not a call to action. It is an offering of care.
