Black Fatigue
Black Refusing to Live Around Black People Like ThatBy Terrance Ammons
Black Fatigue is a bold, unapologetic, and deeply personal exploration of what it means to be Black in modern America — and why protecting your peace isn’t just important, it’s necessary for survival.
Terrance Ammons unpacks the emotional, mental, and spiritual exhaustion that many Black people experience not just from external racism, but from the conflicting values, expectations, and divisions within our own community. Through real-life stories, cultural commentary, and moments of humor, Ammons gives voice to the often-silent frustrations
Conservative Black voices who feel dismissed and isolated
Working-class and “ghetto” Black folks misunderstood and judged
Rich and successful Black people carrying the burden of representation
Liberal activists worn out by endless battles and internal gatekeeping
Everyday people navigating mixed spaces, trying to stay authentic
This book isn’t about blame. It’s about boundaries.
Ammons writes with raw honesty about the power of walking away from toxic energy — even when it comes from your own people — and how to build a tribe that reflects your values, supports your truth, and restores your joy.
If you’re tired of code-switching, conforming, and carrying emotional weight that’s not yours — Black Fatigue is your permission to let go and live free.
