Charis welcomes Tamara Winfrey-Harris in conversation with Dr. Jenn Jackson for a discussion of A Black Woman's Guide to Getting Free, an empowering, feminist guidance for Black women on living unapologetically and authentically-from the bestselling author of The Sisters Are Alright. Unshackle your authentic self from the expectations and stereotypes of American culture through the 6 pillars of living free as a Black woman.
Tamara Winfrey Harris harnesses her knowledge as a two-time author and storyteller of the Black femme experience and nationally known expert on the intersections of race and gender to deliver a sharp feminist analysis that is illustrated by real-life stories and examples plucked from popular culture and intimate Black woman-to-Black woman truth-telling.
This book is separated into two parts. First, the meaning of liberation is explored and Black women will be guided in creating sustaining practice to mature their well-being along the freedom journey.
In part two, readers are introduced to the 6 pillars of living free as a Black woman:
Spot the distortions
Know your truth
Celebrate the real you
Understand the cost of liberation
Practice freedom
SEE free Black women everywhere
With the bold, astute writing that you have come to expect from Winfrey-Harris, A Black Woman’s Guide to Getting Free urges Black women everywhere to choose themselves, and choose freedom, in a world that would have you chained.
