Unmasking the Lie

Have you ever been told you were “too sensitive,” “imagining things,” or that your pain didn’t matter? That’s gaslighting, and it’s left many Black people questioning their truth.

In Unmasking the Lie, Carl Williams breaks through that fog with honesty, cultural insight, and practical tools for healing. From homes and schools to workplaces, churches, and media, this book names the tactics of gaslighting and shows how to break free. Readers will learn how to:

·       Recognize the hidden patterns of gaslighting.

·       Rebuild self-trust and reclaim their voice.

·       Heal invisible wounds that silence and doubt leave behind.

·       Create safe spaces for truth, boundaries, and community healing.

Williams writes from lived experience, blending cultural history with practical exercises that remind readers they are not broken, not alone, and not powerless. Every chapter offers reflection questions and guidance for turning awareness into action, making this book both a mirror and a map. It’s more than theory, it’s a survival tool, a healing guide, and a declaration of wholeness for anyone who has ever been gaslit into silence.

This is not a book about becoming strong—you already are. It’s about remembering that strength, reclaiming your power, and returning to the wholeness that’s always been yours.
