The book was amazing!!!! Reading it I saw some characters who I knew in my past. I think I even saw a bit of myself.😏
If you're in or near the area where Black Girl Therapy play is touring, it is a must see!! Don't be too holy for it.😄

Delving into this book has been an absolute pleasure. The narrative style is distinctive and captivating, weaving together an array of rich, enthralling short tales.
In this novel, the reader encounters 18 women, each divulging her own poignant reasons for seeking therapy. These women are not named but rather represented by self-assigned numbers that reflect their personal struggles. For example, Girl 777, is grappling with wounds inflicted by the church aka church hurt, while Girl 69, is coming to terms with her hazardous sexual behavior. The book touches on a variety of issues such as abuse, rage, and colorism, among many others.
From the moment I opened this book, I was hooked. The stories were engaging, and easy to connect with. I found myself lost in the pages, eager to absorb each woman’s narrative. Nothing seemed too far fetched or outrageously extreme. Ok, maybe Girl 69 was a little extreme to me. She was off the chain😂. Yet, I’m sure her story rings true for a lot of women.
Initially, I failed to recognizing parts of myself within these pages, but as I read on, I couldn’t help but find echoes of my own experiences interwoven in their stories.
Despite its fictional nature, the book has left me with hope that each woman finds the therapeutic support she deserves. It’s encouraging to read a book that advocates for mental health, especially within the Black community.
I’m grateful to the authors for providing me with a copy of 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 to review. It was an amazing journey.

Therapy
Good stories. At least these ladies recognize that they need therapy. Maybe some of us can see ourselves or someone else in these situations & then seek therapy for ourselves.

Cathartic Journey
I saw myself and many other black women in these stories. It’s safe to say we all have a number. Mental wellbeing is essential. Great read!!
