Community Changemaker | Dr. Joy Harden-Bradford, founder and CEO of Therapy for Black Girls recently released her first book, Sisterhood Heals. We felt it was appropriate to highlight her on this episode since oftentimes high achieving black women carry the load on their own. We want to encourage women to create sisterhood among each other as a way to promote healing. Check her out at Therapy for Black Girls and sisterhoodheals.com.
Moment of Inspiration | Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare. – Audre Lorde, American writer, womanist, radical feminist, professor, philosopher and civil rights activist.
