Book Title: Trust Your Journey
Camecia Clark is a licensed professional counselor and Certified Adolescent Trauma Professional from
Houston, Tx. Growing up she saw the effects of mental illness in her family, so she began the journey to
become a mental health advocate. She obtained a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from
Texas Southern University, and a M.A. Industrial and Organizational Psychology from the University of
Houston-Clear Lake. Camecia has always had a passion for helping others and she hopes to help parents,
teachers, and community leaders to have necessary conversations with children about their mental health. She
hopes that "Am I Next" will bring awareness to the Black community that has been conditioned to ignore the
signs of mental health and trauma and inspire us all to end the stigma of mental illness. When she is not
advocating for mental health and writing books, Camecia enjoys spending
time with her children, Caylon and Braylon Mike. She specializes in
teaching children and teens to express their feelings to their parents,
develop healthy coping skills, and to seek help when needed.

Chapter Title: Familiarity Does Not Breed Greatness
In this chapter, I will discuss how doing the same thing does not yield great results. If someone desires to achieve more, more must be done. In all areas of life, it is important to recognize that you can be great. Sometimes that road is lonely and difficult; however, it is necessary to yield the results you desire. Most importantly, walking in purpose is not for everyone. Your purpose belongs to you and you only. How you choose to get there is the hard part!
