Dr. Griffin’s overall objective is to use her training as a clinician, researcher, and community programmer to educate, empower, and develop programs for African American communities in various cities and states. She has authored two books. Her first book, titled, “Letters to the Black Community” (2012) aims to educate individuals about the multitude of ways in which internalized oppression affects the Black psyche. Not only does Dr. Griffin point out this dilemma, but she offers solutions to combat this phenomenon which is hoped to serve as a catalyst for Black community change. The second book, “The Steps I Took” (2013), is a workbook for high school and college students. It provides detailed strategic planning to guide students in pursuit of their next level of academia regardless of academic and/or career interest.
