Chanequa Walker-Barnes
This book began as a personal odyssey. After struggling with some health issues that were stress-related, I realized that much of my stress came from trying to be “all things to all people,” in other words, trying to live up to the image of the StrongBlackWoman. After integrating some of the changes that I suggest in this book into my own life, I realized that there were a lot of other women like me, especially in the church. Their pain glared at me day after day – in the church, in the community, and in the health statistics that I kept reading about Black women. But no one seemed to be talking about it. I wanted to write a book that would raise awareness about the impact that the StrongBlackWoman is having upon the health and well-being of Black women in the United States.
