She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Relaxation (EMDR) and BrainSpotting. Dr. Walker's favorite relaxation tool is exercise, specifically hiking and lifting weights.Dr. Walker was inspired to write the Black Kid/Girl/Boy Joy... books based on hearing one of her nephew's speak with his friends. They spoke with kindness and compassion with one another, but needed more understanding of social and emotional intelligence to deepen their discussions. One Saturday afternoon after thinking about how she could help, the idea for three separate books was born.
