I'm loving this book, but my gosh is it heavy. DX All it's doing is stating facts, yet it's much of a "truth hurts" situation. We shouldn't avoid reading books like this.... But I definitely have to balance it out w/ a more "upbeat" book lol.

Started reading this again. Every Black woman needs to read this book at least once.

I don't know why, but this book makes me feel anxious when I read it.... It's nothing but pure facts, so I'm not saying it's bad. It's very informative and shares a great light that affects so many Black women. I'm able to identify traits of the StrongBlackWoman caricature in my grandmother, mother, and myself. Guess it just hurts how much it all hits home....

Only a chapter in, and I'm already loving this. The names of the chapters alone are so much. I can already recognize traits of the "StrongBlackWoman" caricature in me. All I can say is that I'm ready to heal.
