100 Things Every Black Girl Should Know is the quintessential collection of invaluable advice designed specifically for you, the young black girl trying to navigate her way through life, as well-seasoned woman looking to brush up on the essentials. 

This lighthearted but serious gem of a book has made an impact on various races (in testing), but the author wrote it from her perspective as a black woman who was once a young girl who wishes she knew then what she knows now. 

Since that isn’t possible, she has compiled some of her best and hardest lessons into ten chapters that each include ten “things you should know”, ranging from oral care to the inevitability of heartbreak. 

This book is intended to spark conversations and change the narrative between sister-friends, mothers and daughters, and womankind, alike.

Like so many of us, Rochelle Graham-Campbell was a broke college student working multiple jobs to make ends meet. From working at a local nursing home and delivering newspapers to waitressing at Olive Garden by night, her entrepreneurial spirit was alive and well. After Rochelle's "big chop" in 2008, it was this same spirit that led her to make and sell her own natural hair care products when the market let her down. From a tiny bathroom in her college apartment, Rochelle began filming her haircare journey, soon becoming one of the pioneers of natural hair blogging on YouTube. Prompted by dozens of women inspired by her hair growth, Rochelle realized her calling. 

With just $100 in tips from a night of waitressing, she bought the first set of bottles and ingredients to formulate her own products. These kitchen concoctions soon became Alikay Naturals, Rochelle's solution to beauty without compromise. 

From humble beginnings, Alikay has blossomed into a wildly successful bootstrapped business now sold in Target, CVS, Rite Aid, Kroger, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, and top beauty supply stores and salons across twenty-two countries. Now in her tenth year of business, Rochelle shares her journey from server to beauty founder and breaks down the mindset behind her success. Covering the hustle, self-care, and purpose beyond profit, 90 Days to C.E.O is a comprehensive no-BS guide to starting and running a successful business.

I’m not sure what’s worse to lose a parent at a young age and have no recollection of them, or to lose a parent as an adult and remember everything about them. 

Losing a mother at eighteen is challenging as is trying to find yourself in the world away from home. Grieving your loved one is a process, and no one can tell how you’re going to handle it. 

Not a soul should tell you when you need to be done grieving. Nobody will know how you’re feeling unless you tell them. 

Don’t be afraid to communicate what you need during your time of grief or need. Take your time and be kind to yourself along the way. 

These poems are to let you know that you’re not alone.

All Along You Were Blooming is a striking collection of illustrated poetry and prose, inviting you to "stumble into the sunlight" and delight in the wild and boundless grace you've been given. Morgan reminds you:

There is a purpose in every season
No matter how you want to race through this day or run away from this place, you are invited to live fully--right here, right now
Light will always find you, even when the sun sets and you sit awaiting the dawn
That you are always blooming in the way you were meant to
All Along You Were Blooming is perfect:

For men and women of all ages
For teachers to share with classrooms during poetry focused lessons
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, National Best Friend Day, birthdays, and holiday gifting
In each small moment, whether in the light or the dark, you can make room for becoming, for breathing, for stumbling, and for simply being--for there is grace, today and every day.

Anyone who's ever been underestimated or overshadowed will find inspiration in this empowering new picture book from Meena Harris, New York Times-bestselling author of Kamala and Maya's Big Idea.
 
When a young girl sees a strong woman on TV labeled as "too assertive" and "too ambitious," it sends her on a journey of discovery through past, present, and future about the challenges faced by women and girls and the ways in which they can reframe, redefine, and reclaim words meant to knock them down.
 
As Ambitious Girl says:
 
No "too that" or "too this"
will stop what's inside us from flowering.

Black Girl, they say you ain't 'posed to be here

Much of what twenty-first century culture tells black girls is not pretty: Don't wear this; don't smile at that. Don't have an opinion; don't dream big. And most of all, don't love yourself. In response to such destructive ideas, internationally recognized poet Mahogany Browne challenges the conditioning of society by crafting an anthem of strength and magic undeniable in its bloom for all beautiful Black girls.

This book offers a unique, interdisciplinary, and thoughtful look at the challenges and potency of Black women's struggle for inner peace and mental stability. It brings together contributors from psychology, sociology, law, and medicine, as well as the humanities, to discuss issues ranging from stress, sexual assault, healing, self-care, and contemplative practice to health-policy considerations and parenting. Merging theory and practice with personal narratives and public policy, the book develops a new framework for approaching Black women's wellness in order to provide tangible solutions. The collection reflects feminist praxis and defines womanist peace in terms that reject both "superwoman" stereotypes and "victim" caricatures. Also included for health professionals are concrete recommendations for understanding and treating Black women.

"…this book speaks not only to Black women but also educates a broader audience of policymakers and therapists about the complex and multilayered realities that we must navigate and the protests we must mount on our journey to find inner peace and optimal health." — from the Foreword by Linda Goler Blount

BloodFresh is a celebration of identity. Ebony Stewart reclaims her own narrative to speak against the racism and colorism she’s experienced, while criticizing society’s treatment of women as sexual objects. This collection reaffirms the reader through storytelling as an open letter to retell, acknowledge, overcome, and learn new ways to use poetry as a coping technique. As BloodFresh reflects the importance of owning your own space, Stewart carves out a home for herself, her poems, and all of the readers who take refuge in her words.

You only have one life to live. Time is something we can't get back. In our journey through life, we can lose our way. We may start out with clear goals, ideas, expectations, dreams and more. But, life happens and suddenly derails us from the point of clarity we possessed at one time. Or maybe you're just going through the motions of life; stuck on auto-pilot and not really engaged. Then there are some that have never been sure about where they are going and the outcome they desire. Life is a journey. It's about growing and evolving. I call it the BLOOMing process. We all bloom at different points in life; age is not a factor. This book is for those looking to change the course of their life for the better. It is for those seeking clarity, insight and direction. If you are struggling to find your way, feel lost, unsure, off track or stuck in a particular area. I wrote this book especially for you! Many times, a little guidance is all we need. This is the blueprint that has helped me. Join me as I share many keys and insights I have learned along the way. I look forward to Blooming with you!

Are YOU a Caregiver Who Notoriously Lets Yourself Go While Taking Care of Your Loved One?

Eighteen years ago Meriam Boldewijn burned out while taking care of her husband. Besides caregiving, she worked full-time and was also the cook, cleaner, driver, and more. Her husband was a diabetic, on dialysis, and had a kidney-pancreas transplant surgery. 

When she finally came out of that roller coaster, her brother had a stroke and was partially paralyzed. Today she enjoys her life in peace and harmony while taking care of her loved ones.

Caregiving is challenging, both mentally and physically. Most of the time, your mind and body are not in balance. Struggling with prioritizing yourself, guilt, fear, exhaustion are just a few examples of the issues caregivers have to deal with.

Being a caregiver requires a lot of strength, courage, and patience, mainly because you are not obligated to do it. However, you are doing it every day, because of the love towards your loved one.

Still, love isn't enough to "recharge your battery" overnight – you NEED TO TAKE PROPER CARE OF YOURSELF before you can take the best care of someone else.
