What People are Saying About This
Jamie Walker is insightful and wise way beyond her years. A page turner would not describe the inability to put this book down! There is wit and humor in every single passage! No Black woman's bookshelf should be without this manual of self worth and respect. Though apparently geared toward Black women, it is useful for any woman who will open her mind to learning about herself and growing.
—Social Worker/Activist; Oakland, California
Ewuare Osayande, Caught at the Crossroads Without a Map; Chairperson of the Philadelphia Black Radical Congress
Jamie Walker has written a healing balm for Black women daily assaulted by racist and sexist realities. Her prescriptive words are also instructive to us men socialized to view women as objects. Her loving engagement with Black women in the book— reminding them of their subjectivity and agency— teaches us to see Black women with new eyes, to love Black women with renewed hearts, and maybe, just maybe, learn to love ourselves anew in the process.
Lanette Everett, Business Counselor
Finally everything a woman needs is in one book!
I believe this is a necessary and encouraging message that Jamie is sending out to Black woman, especially our young black women. Most of us didn't tap into our inner selves until we had experienced numerous trials and tribulations in our lives. We didn't see the value in the valley. This is definitely a book I will add to my collection.
