Black Female Perspectives from Predominantly White Institutions:
Strategies for Wellbeing in White Spaces and Beyond supports Black
women working in predominantly White spaces and further educates
their institutions, non-Black counterparts, students, and families
in developing an understanding of the challenges and needs of Black
women professionals. In the face of world challenges, the authors
contend that anti-Blackness continues to be an infectious pandemic
that is devastating Black lives around the globe. Black women
professionals, who are often at the forefront of racial and gender
justice movements at their institutions, have been especially
burdened. Such devotion is daunting and often drains the wellbeing
of Black women. Institutions frequently ignore the cry of racial
battle fatigue that Black employees, and members of communities of
color, are experiencing on a large scale. This has become a serious
health risk for many Black people, particularly Black women
professionals. The authors assert that it is important to use
“for us by us” concepts when addressing racial battle fatigue.
Therefore, this book is framed using several African
descent-centered knowledge systems. It offers strategies to enhance
the wellbeing of Black women, such as ancestral wisdom, addressing
anti-Blackness, identities and female life cycles, and planting
seeds grounded in love. Although the book focuses on Black women,
it is encouraged reading for all. It is believed that greater
awareness will spark greater change within our society.
In "Share My Love," relationship aficionado Shari Robinson puts an
interesting new spin on the age-old dilemma of the male roving
sexual appetite, and its companion: unbalanced male-to-female
ratios. Using language and dialogue that is both real and
contemporary, the author allows her readers entree into the minds
of self-indulgent males and lonely females as they compromise their
ideals and suppress their egos to engage in consentual polygamous
sex for the sake of companionship. In "Share My Love," sometimes
the gamblers win, sometimes they lose, but when you're looking for
a love that might last... everyone must play.
