A Black Woman's Worth! - My Queen and Backbone Book

Cognitive therapy and self-empowerment go hand in hand in this powerful treatise of what it means to be a modern Black woman. For all of its power, A Black Woman's Worth: My Queen and Backbone by psychotherapist and activist Dwayne L. Buckingham is a surprisingly candid and succinct treatise that shows readers how to initiate meaningful inner dialogue and change to transform themselves--and their communities. Positive and uplifting, this self-improvement guide is not without controversy, and it asks some hard-hitting questions: Are today's Black women's values different than our ancestors? Are Black women the backbone of the Black community? And, are today's Black women worthy of being called Queens? In six fully annotated chapters, the author examines history, sociology, and Biblical inferences to transport readers to an esoteric and concrete place where a proud African-American tradition meets the modern world that has witnessed Black communities corrupted by indifference and neglect. Beginning with a thoroughly refreshing chapter, "Transformed by Knowledge and Wisdom," the author further pushes the envelope in "Change Your Attitude" and "Love Yourself Unconditionally." He directs readers to look at mindsets, typecasts, and history in a whole new light, which proves to be as empowering as it is informative. Here it is, the truth that each of us is a part of history and each of us has an opportunity to make history.Read More
