The New Black Woman

Those who follow this podcast, my newsletter, or have worked with me as a client know that I stress sacred rest. I call it sacred rest because it is mandatory in our lives, and you must put it in your calendar. It is not something you squeeze in when you get a moment. It is an essential part of how your chemistry works and your body, how your mind functions, and your ability to be creative and have that ability to move from your zone of excellence into your zone of genius.    Our guest on Episode 7 of Unshackled Leadership: A Lantern for Black Women has written a book about self-care and explains in full detail why Black women must have it. Marita Golden is an award-winning author with more than 20 works of fiction and nonfiction. In 2021 she published a book called The Strong Black Woman and followed that up this year with The New Black Woman. Please allow me to introduce you to Marita Golden, a woman I have known and respected for over 30 years, and her work constantly inspires me.   Her books include some of my favorites, A Woman's Place, Saving Our Sons, and Don't Play in the Sun. Each of her books is a deep dive into being Black. Her books have been hailed by fellow Black women authors such as Toni Morrison and Charlayne Hunter-Gault.   In 2021 she published a book called The Strong Black Woman and followed that up this year with The New Black Woman. Please allow me to introduce you to Marita Golden, a woman I have known and respected for over 30 years, and her work constantly inspires me.    She offers writing classes for a variety of genres, including biography.
