This well-crafted guided journal is designed by a Black woman for other Black women, based on common concerns she has seen in her therapy practice. Although many of the prompts and suggested activities are racially neutral and involve general concerns like recognizing self-defeating thoughts, pursuing meaningful connection in your community, practicing mindfulness, and tracking healthy routines, the book includes prompts related to coping with racial stereotyping and dealing with self-esteem, boundary, and identity issues through the lens of the Black experience.
I found the questions to be very open-ended and insightful, and appreciated how women in different life situations could fill out their responses with their specific circumstances in mind, without the author presuming what their life is like. The only exception I noticed is that the author assumed that women using this journal would be immersed in the Black community. Black women who grew up in adoptive or inter-racial families might feel othered by the prompts that assume a typical Black cultural experience, and I wish that the author had acknowledged this potential audience.
I received a free copy from the publisher through Amazon Vine in exchange for an honest review.
