Major Health Crisis Among Black Women Generated from Systemic Racism "Marita Golden's The Strong Black Woman busts the myth that Black women are fierce and resilient by letting the reader in under the mask that proclaims 'Black don't crack.'" Karen Arrington, coach, mentor, philanthropist, and author of NAACP Image Award-winning Your Next Level Life Sarton Women's Book Award #1 New Release in Reference Meet Black women who have learned through hard lessons the importance of self-care and how to break through the cultural and family resistance to seeking therapy and professional mental health care. The Strong Black Woman Syndrome. For generations, in response to systemic racism, Black women and African American culture created the persona of the Strong Black Woman, a woman who, motivated by service and sacrifice, handles, manages, and overcomes any problem, any obstacle. The syndrome calls on Black women to be the problem-solvers and chief caretakers for everyone in their lives never buckling, never feeling vulnerable, and never bothering with their pain. Hidden mental health crisis of anxiety and depression. To be a Black woman in America is to know you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, your value is consistently questioned, and even being "twice as good" is often not good enough. Consequently, Black women disproportionately experience anxiety and depression. Studies now conclusively connect racism and mental health and physical health. Take care of your emotional health. You deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love. More and more young Black women are re-examining the Strong Black Woman syndrome and engaging in self-care practices that change their lives. Hear stories of Black women who: Asked for help Built lives that offer healing Learned to accept healing If you have read The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, The Racial Healing Handbook, or Black Fatigue, The Strong Black Woman is your next read.

Single motherhood and the children of single mothers have been the subject of overwhelmingly negative statistical analysis. Male children raised in single parent homes perform less well in school and have more trouble with the law; girls raised in single-parent homes more frequently get pregnant in their teens and often have problems bonding emotionally with men. But, Marita Golden asks in her inspiring new book, where is the complementary data? Where are the studies that analyze single-parent families for the strengths of the mothers, the positive coping and adaptive skills learned by the children, the support systems that help these families work? "A Miracle Every Day" offers a close-up on the faces that inhabit the positive side of the numbers game, the people who defy the stereotypes. A collection of inspirational anecdotes, this uplifting book sends a positive message to single mothers and all those who have cast such a negative eye on them for so long. What Girlfriends did for friendship, Marita Golden does for flourishing single-mother families in "A Miracle Every Day", gathering these families' stories from her interviews and identifying the major internal and external resources they share. In so doing, she bestows a sense of self-esteem and confidence to her reader-mothers who often internalize the negative attitudes and prejudices of a society that barely gives them a chance.
