Self-Care for Black Women: 150 Ways to Radically Accept & Prioritize Your Mind, Body, & Soul (Self-Care for Black Women Series)

This helped me understand that there are so many ways to take care of myself whether I have been doing the subconsciously or not. I haven't taken the best care of myself throughout my twenties and now I'm in my mid-thirties and I am trying to love myself more instead of just trying to project love where it's not needed or received. Healing yourself from the inside out is very difficult but I'm embracing the journey. It's an ugly tiresome journey but each outcome is beautiful in its own right because I'm reaching for my peace. I'm slowly finding it and this has been a step in the direction to continue to find more ways to be in my self awakening. I refuse to continue to be doubtful and disappointed in myself and I know now that I have options to get away from that mindset slowly but very sure I can accomplish this.

I bought this book for my daughter. She loved it so much, she's reading it a second time.

I am really enjoying this book. The author Oludara Adeeyo does a great job explaining radical self care and has so many practically ways to experience self care. This book will change your life! Originally purchased this book as a graduation gift for someone at Barnes and Noble. After purchasing one for them decided to purchase myself a copy and grateful to have found it on Amazon! May purchase a few more as gifts for others! I received her other book as a gift from someone. That book is called “Affirmations for Black Women” which is also great as well!

Perfect reminders for Black women. It’s an easy, quick read and very uplifting. It also makes a beautiful gift for the women in your life.

I liked the book and many of the suggestions were great. However, the chapters regarding Protesting and Fetishization were a bit uninformed in my opinion. Encouraging black women to march in the streets where they may be subject to physical harm and career-ruining arrest isn't my idea of "self-care". Black women HAVE been doing this to no great effect, only to be called "masculine" by the very men they are marching for, and worse, arrested, costing them their careers and future employment. Also, the chapter on fetishization needs to be extended to ALL men, including the men within our race. Big butts have been fetishized to the extreme in the black community with many women undergoing dangerous surgeries to attain them. That said, I would still recommend the book as most of the suggestions for self-care were great.

This book was LOVED by all. Some men even purchase for their wife or girlfriend.

Since I began making Self Care a priority in my life a few months ago. Then began searching for tools to help me. I located this book on Amazon and it’s been a game changer. Thank you to the author, Oludara Adeeyo. GREAT BOOK! I have recommended this book to my family, friends, etc. Honestly, I have the book on hard copy and Audible Books. This book has totally transformed my life, perspective and overall health and wellness. I highly recommend this resource for those desiring to enhance their self care regimen.

Bought this as a gift and the recipient loved it.

The book is great! Author and psychotherapist Oludara Adeeyo wrote a great book on self-care for Black women and I learned a lot of valuable information on how to take care of myself, physically, emotionally, spiritually as well as financially. It's not easy being a Black and Jamaican woman and like other sistahs across the globe, I am forever fighting to stay alive! There are some great tips on how to take time for myself and no one else, such as taking relaxing bubble baths, stop being a 'ride or die' sistah, doing Yoga and so much more! Wow! I am very impressed with this book! I shall definitely try some of the great tips to staying healthy! Thank you, Dr. Adeeyo, for writing a fantastic book made exclusively for Black women across the globe! May God bless you.

Nice one, I learned a lot 🤩

Just what I needed to start my self-healing journey. The advice and topics are very relatable and feel tailored to my experiences as a Black woman. I truly feel heard, seen, and understood. I love the commentary on the topics the most, it gives me insight and a chance to reflect on myself and my thoughts. There are 150 self-care tips. Some tips resonate with me more than others, but that just means there's a little something in here for everyone, which is great! Most of these tips are great for anyone to practice, regardless of race/gender. Highly recommend it, plus the book and illustrations are cute :)
