The tools to fight!

Thank you to Souljer Press and NetGalley for a copy of this book. I actually ended just getting from
Amazon to have a copy of my own. I recommend all Black women, no matter your age or season in your life, pick up a copy of this book. These are affirmations for us and by us. As the author says through this book, you will: “Page by page, you choose to speak life in a world that tries to drain it.”

This is one of my first affirmation books I’ve had, and what I appreciate most is it’s not just cute or motivational quotes for me to say to myself in the mirror but it also serves as a guide, what I’d call in speaking life into and over yourself. The author doesn’t just jump right in either; they actually set the scene and prepare readers on how to use this guide. The book is broken up into 3 major parts, starting with the introduction and exercises (the exercises are my favorite and I will be utilizing with others), affirmations for overcoming, and affirmations for manifesting. My favorite exercise from this book would be Throwing Hands with your Demons. Doing that exercise with coupled with the inadequacy, procrastination, and validation affirmations. Whew! Also, the affirmations for manifesting really resonated and are useful for myself in this season of my life. It featured affirmations such as ones for fitness, enthusiasm and motivation, and discipline, to name a few I’m finding useful right now.

I love the beautiful illustrations featured in this book. Like with any other self-help book, I would’ve liked to see more information on the research. The book starts off with “the evidence,” but I didn’t see any references cited. I don’t think that’s necessarily wrong, but I believe having research/data backing the evidence makes it stronger. An example who the author says in the book: “Black women don’t get the luxury of just “manifesting vibes.” We have to survive, thrive, nurture, lead, all while making sure our hair is laid and our attitudes are non-aggressive. The world will praise our strength and still deny our softness.” This would’ve been the perfect opportunity to include some data or references to what Black women are currently facing today.

All in all, a great book!

This book was right on time. I wanted to be very intentional whenever I picked up this book and got through my initial read because I knew I needed every drop! With all of the things going on in the world right now, this couldn’t have come at a better time. And sure enough, once I got the very end, Issa Stevenson confirmed:

“If you made it to the end of this book, let me say this. You didn’t just read pretty language. You returned to yourself. Page by page, you chose to speak life in a world that tries to drain it.”

This quote perfectly summarizes my experience reading this book with INTENTION as opposed to approaching it as a quick guide to flip through and treat flippantly just to keep up with an ARC “quota.” This topic and framing was too important to not expect it to resonate and settle into my bones.

It was healing in a medicinal way. It was structured in doses that were perfectly portioned without feeling heavy. And I genuinely want a physical copy for myself to return to whenever I need to reflect on a specific category. I also think this would be a great gift to all of my friends and family who identify as a Black woman. Everybody is getting one as a stocking stuffer this year because we are worthy of everything shared and taught in this book. Bravo to the author!

This book was everything I didn’t know I needed. From the very first page, the affirmations spoke directly to the lived experiences of Black women—our strength, our softness, our resilience, and our right to rest and receive. Each affirmation felt intentional, affirming not just confidence and self-love, but also healing, worthiness, and joy.

What I loved most is how the affirmations go beyond surface-level positivity. They acknowledge the challenges Black women face while still centering empowerment, self-respect, and inner peace. The language is uplifting without feeling unrealistic, and it encourages daily reflection, growth, and emotional grounding.

This book is perfect for morning routines, quiet moments of self-care, or anytime you need to reset your mindset. It reminds you that you are enough, you are deserving, and you don’t have to earn rest, love, or happiness—they are already yours.

I highly recommend this book to any Black woman who needs consistent reminders of her power, beauty, and value. It’s more than an affirmation book—it’s a daily act of self-love.

If you’re searching for an affirmation book that truly lifts your spirits and brings you joy & speak life into you, this is the perfect one for you! I loved how the author organized the book by themes and included exercises. The affirmations are specifically designed for black women of all ages. I think I’d recommend this book in physical form because I felt like I needed to jot down some notes and write on the pages. My favorite theme was generational cycles.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys affirmations.

Thank you, NetGalley, and the publisher, for providing me with a copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

A MUST READ!

This book should be a must read on every black girl's list young and old. All the emotions I felt while reading it, and saying the affirmations to myself says it all. The categories she has for each trial or situation you are going through is another plus. I haven't felt this motivated in a long time. It was far beyond a motivational book, it is a movement!

1,000+ Affirmations for Black Women

I like this book and it is very complete. Treat different situations like anger, anxiety, depression, loneliness, rejection, etc. However, in the other part talk about abundance, wealth, black pride, body image, etc. I like the structure of this book and how explain he thing in a personal way, not bluff. Good book to read.

You can honestly never go wrong with an affirmations book, especially one that caters to black women. As a black woman myself, I believe that we are at the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to people in society and their importance. It sometimes feels as though we have to always fend for ourselves and look out for each other and always be “strong.” So for me, this book is just a gentle reminder that we are humans and we have feelings and emotions and problems just like everybody else. This book can help us take some time out and just relax and just be in the moment.
