Review Quotes
Written by African American women who live or work in predominately White spaces, this book uses the seven principles of the Nguzo Saba to focus on Africanist wellbeing. Long-time educator and cultural activist Karen Dade and her colleagues bring readers along a journey of healing of generational trauma beginning in the time of forced migration, to enslavement, to the present era of racism and the assault on Black lives. This book is especially for Black women, but everyone, regardless of background, can benefit from the wisdom of the ancestors presented here.
