The Strong Black Woman: How a Myth Endangers the Physical and Mental Health of Black Women
To be a Black woman in America is to know you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, your value is consistently questioned, and even being “twice as good” is often not good enough.

You deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love. More and more young Black women are re-examining the Strong Black Woman syndrome and engaging in self-care practices that change their lives. Discover our amazing author on Mango!
