Description: "Delves into the messages communicated and models witnessed by Black women of the baby boomer generation and hip hop generation in their socialization for strength. This book highlights how self-care was not presented as critical for sustaining life as a strong Black woman -- a concern shared by Black women bloggers who advocate resisting the myth and redefining strength for self-care.
