Examines how Black women elders have managed stress, emphasizing how self-care practices have been present since at least the mid-19th century, with roots in African traditions. How have Black women elders managed stress? In Black Women's Yoga History, Stephanie Y. Evans uses primary sources to answer that question and to show how meditation and yoga from eras of enslavement, segregation, and migration to the Civil Rights, Black Power, and New Age movements have been in existence all along.

Didn’t know this is what I needed
Revisado: 04-02-22
As a lover of black history and any kind of wisdom that allows me to avoid extra stress, I found this book to be my source of self care, self talk and excitement for the 16/17 hours it took to finish listening to. Masterfully put together. The combination of black women history, resources and the airy goes analytical mind put me in a space I didn’t know I needed to be in. Triggers definitely there. While on my path to self discovery, this book is one on my top 3 list.

Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she’s constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle-class peers. After a messy breakup from her White long-term boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places...including several hazardous men who do a good job of occupying brain space and a bad job of affirming self-worth.

What?

I was pissed at how much of a low-self esteem slut the main character is. The main character, Queenie just kept disappointing me as the reader. Definitely not one I would recommend. If you like drama that is self created, this ain’t the book.

Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block - her neighbor, Theo. But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear.

OMG! I so enjoyed listening to this audiobook. I found myself talking to the characters and social issues expressed. Once yelling at Sydney “you better not! It’s not a good idea. Don’t do it.” A definite new favorite.

This book is about prioritizing and pursuing pleasure as a means of radical, intentional, and transformative self-care.

Discover the power of pleasure through tools and techniques that help you manifest the juicy, delicious life you crave.

A must listen/read when thinking about self care
Revisado: 03-11-22
I just so happened to be taking a “self-care” day and decided to listen to as many books as possible. This one definitely had me questioning whether I am doing “self-care” or “self-soothing”.
