Healing the Black Superhuman: Restoring our Humanity

From Chevalier to Hidden Figures to Wakanda, the world celebrates Black people only when we are extraordinary — when we perform at superhuman levels. But beneath the applause sits a painful truth: we are often unseen, unheard, and undervalued unless we’re exceptional.

In this opening episode of Voices of the New Earth, Dr. Holda uncovers the deep trauma hidden inside the “Black Superhuman” myth and how it has shaped generations. She explores how history trained the world to recognize Black brilliance only under impossible conditions, and how that expectation has robbed us of softness, rest, vulnerability, and the right to simply be human.

This episode is an invitation to dismantle the myth, reclaim our full humanity, and remember that we matter not because we perform, excel, or endure — but because we exist.
