Author Description

For decades, black women have carried the torch of strength and resilience, passing down a legacy that thrives through adversity while often lacking the tools and know-how to discontinue intergenerational trauma, self-destruction, and the superwoman syndrome. Forging through a myriad of stereotypes and misconceptions, black women have hurdled over barriers far greater than that of other races. Shattering glass ceilings at a rapid pace, black women are no longer willing to be their own worst enemy. Breaking the cycles that have once held them down, these women are no longer subjecting themselves to suppression, oppression, racism, gender inequality and division. Within these carefully crafted pages, the authors of Black Beautiful Brilliant take you on a heartfelt literary journey to understanding that black women are indeed stronger together. Coming together from various cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and belief systems, black women are rallying together to change the world. From personal stories of triumph, self-worth, and self-discovery to embracing all that it means to be black, beautiful and brilliant, this is a collective that was created just for you.
