Said Author:
"It is my belief that in order for this group of black women (which numbers in the millions) to find lasting satisfaction, we must begin to understand our unique experiences, family patterns, social contexts, and spiritual strengths—rather than focusing on our weaknesses and limitations. By doing so, we can rid ourselves of that often hard exterior and instead reveal our innate beauty, brilliance, compassion, sensuality, and soul, so we can be free to not only thrive in our careers but in our personal lives as well." Said Author Sophia Nelson. :by Sophia Nelson
The idea of redefining yourselves is at the heart of Sophia Nelson's book and is a wonderful read for any black woman - young or old, single or married, mother or aunt. My favorite aspect of the book was the positive messages and insistence that we move beyond anger, bitterness, and hatred toward love and purpose. Her messages about how redefining the black woman is a team effort where we all need to get on board, get over the drama, and work together is truly needed. I think we can only do what Sophia Nelson advises if we start with ourselves and those around us. This is a great gift for any woman in your life!
