Description:

STRONG BLACK WOMAN: HOW A MYTH ENDANGERS THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH of BLACK WOMEN is exactly how it reads- Marita works hard to break down the myth of the “strong Black woman”. She goes beyond it to show the beauty, tenderness, and vulnerability that Black women possess- even if white supremacy can’t recognize it. Her book is a true call to how integral Black women are to the United States, and seeks to empower Black women to go beyond what society labels them and truly tap into their own self-care, healing, and revitalization. This event is free and open to all, accessible through our Facebook and Youtube pages (@busboysandpoets).
