Purposeful Perspectives: A Black Woman's Guide to Change, Alignment & Joy

This is the first therapeutic book I’ve ever seen that is geared towards successful Black women. The spiritual component is lovely. I really loved that any spiritual path or religion fits the narrative of this book. The processing questions at the end of each chapter are so helpful. The tone of the book is very conversational and warm. The reader will learn a lot while also feeling like they just had a deep conversation with a close friend. It was such a helpful resource for me to get back on track. The companion journal asked such good questions and facilitated thorough processing of the book material. As a Marriage and Family therapist, I will definitely be using this book with clients.

It comes with a beautifully laid out companion journal that guides you through your reading. I am so excited to share this experience with all of the beautiful black women in my life.This book was long overdue and will make a great and thoughtful gift!

Reading this book was like getting expert advice from the author herself. I felt seen, I felt heard, and most of all, I felt connected to everything that was said in this book! I love how the author shares her own struggles being a Black woman in a world that doesn't always see us. And I appreciated the practical steps and reflections that were added to each chapter - it allowed me to go deeper than just reading the material, but really challenged me to synthesize it with my life. This is a must read for any Black woman who has every felt invisible but knew that she had so much to offer the world!

This book gave me my whole life! I am excited that we are having these discussions about Black Women and mental health & spirituality. There are so many aspects that i could relate to. Healing trauma and old mindsets is not easy, but this book is a good starting place! Thank you for thinking about us. And the companion book helped me process what I read in order to put what I learned into action. I 100% recommend this book!

From the FIRST chapter, I found myself thinking "She is talking about ME" or "It's not just ME". I LOVED the frank, "conversational" style of the author. I felt like I was talking to or listening to one of my friends. Early in the the book she advices that this is not a "vacation read" the book you grab to fall asleep with on the plane and it's not. For me it's a "workbook", one that I know that I will be referencing and checking back in with for a while. I plan to share this book with my daughter and sisters and sister-friends. I LOVE IT.

I highly recommend this book for women with a emphasis on black women 🙌🏾. This is a tool to help you on your individual journey at all stages. It has helped me to visit areas in my journey spiritually, professionally, and personally to consider new ways of how show up and be present and not shrink to make society feel comfortable with my presence. It's a book that once you start you will want to read cover to cover. Download or purchase this gem as a gift for your mom, sister, daughter, or bestfriend it's more than worth it!

This is a beautiful guide to awakening the Divine Feminine to her full truth. As a Black woman, this book touched on so many paradigms that we are plagued with and yet struggle to find solutions for. The author gives practical real life suggestions and tools that every reader can put to use and immediately experience a shift in their dynamic.

I chose this rating because the book is phenomenal, and it also includes guides to assist in getting to your valued direction. The author couldn't be more authentic. I am recommending this book to all my sister girls, and any woman of color I may come upon in need of guidance.
