A Black Woman's Guide to Getting Free

Bestselling author of The Sisters Are Alright shows Black women how to unshackle their authentic selves from expectations and stereotypes embedded in American culture and offers guidance on how to choose liberation and sustain freedom.

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
• Set free Black women everywhere

With the bold, astute writing that you have come to expect from Winfrey-Harris, The Free Black Woman’s Field Guide urges Black women everywhere to choose themselves, and choose freedom, in a world that would have you chained.
