Evolving While Black

"If you asked my grandmother what self-care was," says Chianti Lomax, "I'm pretty sure her response would be: 'Self-care? That's for rich white women!'" Our mothers and grandmothers were too busy fighting for the future of their families to often consider their own wellness and happinessand now, as the inheritors of their mighty labors, we have the opportunity to do more than simply survive. So how do we thrive? How do Black women grow, transform, and make good use of the power they have?

In Evolving While Black, Lomaxrenowned life coach and "Chief Happiness Curator"shares a guide to help Black women achieve authentic happiness and liberation on their own terms. By shifting the culturally constrained language and perspective from which mindfulness and self-care practices are normally presented, she breaks down barriers and invites us to bring the power of these evidence-based teachings into our lives, families, and communities. This joyous book paves the way for personal growth, presenting bite-size actions that lead to healing, confidence, self-efficacy, and, most importantly, true self-love.
