Letters enable writers to convey potentially difficult information in creative ways that are different from academic writing conventions. The subject of this article is healing from racial battle fatigue--the psychological, physiological, and emotional stress responses to racism. We use letters addressed to Black educators to illustrate how we wrestle with the question: What does it mean to live in our Black bodies in this historical moment? We also offer some possible larger meaning-making from our letters for Black readers endeavoring to heal from racial battle fatigue and pursue the neverending quest of working to live freely in their Black bodies.
