About the Author
Rayvene Whatley, LPC
Rayvéne Whatley is a therapist, speaker, and EMDR practitioner dedicated to helping Black professionals untangle the stress of success, relationships, and identity—without judgment or the pressure to have it all figured out. As the founder of Simplicity Psychotherapy, she’s spent years helping clients navigate anxiety, perfectionism, and the weight of unspoken emotions.
She created Shades of Emotion after noticing a need for more descriptive emotional connections, especially in communities where vulnerability isn’t always welcomed. Too often, we’re told to “push through” our feelings, to be strong, to keep going—even when we’re overwhelmed or unsure how we really feel. This book is a response to that—a space where emotions aren’t judged or dismissed but explored through creativity, culture, and self-expression. It’s not just about coloring—it’s about giving yourself permission to feel, process, and embrace every shade of who you are.

Professionalism shouldn’t mean emotional silence.
Emotions don’t clock out when you clock in.
