Such an important and helpful read for an individual who works with women of color, but is not a woman of color. The diverse topics that Inger Burnett- Zeigler touches on was informative and thought provoking as she looked into the lives of black women, sharing sessions she has had with her clients. Dr. Burnett-Zeigler focuses on the image of the strong, black woman, why this image has had to be taken on by women, praises them for it and also challenges the notion that this does not always benefit them. Black women's strength is tied to their unacknowledged suffering leading to health and mental health struggles that black women are more at risk to. I believe this is an informative guide self care, self worth, leading to life-changing healing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishing for the ARC

this book was just what I needed. I got a physical copy from the author, then the publisher and now the virtual one.
As a Black woman, reading something that is so honest and speaks to my soul is necessary.
I have read quite a bit of books regarding this topic; however, I really loved how Dr. Burnett-Zeigler broke the book down into different parts that signify the different stages of "trouble"
How to heal from the trouble we've seen.
