Healing the Little Black Girl Behind the Strong Black Woman

It’s time to heal the little Black girl behind the strong Black
woman.


The life you long for, the deep connections you desire are buried
inside the little Black girl behind the Strong Black woman.


The little Black girl who was conditioned to never cry, ask for
help or need anyone, the little Black girl who was taught to
mimic happiness even when her heart was breaking,  the
little Black girl who was led to believe that it’s better to be
seen and not heard.


Aren’t you ready to reacquaint yourself with her? 


 


 


 


You don’t have to morph into somebody else’s version of the
Strong Black Woman.  You don’t have to be the fixer like
Olivia Pope, slay giants like Cookie Lyon, be the Queen in the
conference room like Mary Jane OR save EVERYBODY like Annalise
Keating.


 
Join Shirl in this episode as she talks about:

 


Her personal journey of uncaping, unmasking and unhiding by
way of a very vulnerable journal entry

Uncaping, Unmasking, Unhiding, Unlearning and Relearning

How the Superwoman lifestyle/mindset was birthed in childhood

How network television has gone  from one extreme
(the mammy, the Jezebel, the sapphire) to the
next (the self-sacrificing Strong Black Woman),
thereby perpetuating the idea that the Strong Black Woman has to
sacrifice herself to be ALL THE THINGS to ALL THE PEOPLE.

How to listeners can start to heal the little Black girl
behind the Strong Black Woman
