"An unforgettable invitation to treat our lives as the sacred things they are--and a call to embrace the love, dreams, and healing that only we can choose for ourselves"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract |
As a Black woman living in America, Brooks has experienced the unwelcome weight of other people's expectations. For much of her life-- in church, in the workplace, and in her relationships-- she has fought to find a secure footing in a culture that does not prioritize Black women's well-being of safety. Here she shares how she found spiritual and emotional freedom from harmful misconceptions, and calls on Black women to demand and claim more for themselves. -- adapted from jacket |
