Synopsis

Unshackle your authentic self from the expectations and stereotypes of American culture through the six pillars of living free as a Black woman.

Tamara Winfrey Harris harnesses her knowledge as a two-time author and storyteller of the Black femme experience and nationally known expert on the intersections of race and gender to deliver a sharp feminist analysis that is illustrated by real-life stories and examples plucked from popular culture and intimate Black woman-to-Black woman truth-telling.

This book is separated into two parts. First, the meaning of liberation is explored and Black women will be guided in creating sustaining practice to mature their well-being along the freedom journey.

In part two, listeners are introduced to the six pillars of living free as a Black woman: Spot the distortions, Know your truth, Celebrate the real you, Understand the cost of liberation, Practice freedom, and SEE free Black women everywhere.

With the bold, astute writing that you have come to expect from Winfrey Harris, A Black Woman's Guide to Getting Free urges Black women everywhere to choose themselves, and choose freedom, in a world that would have you chained.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I read several chapters at one time. It was engrossing. I don’t believe that I would necessarily call it a guide but it was enjoyable. I liked getting different black womens viewpoints within the chapters that correlated to the chapter itself.......more
