How to Become a New Strong Black Woman by Marita Golden is a workbook/journal created in response to the many requests she received from readers of The Strong Black Women who wanted to know how Marita maintained physical and mental health, and who needed guidance on how to make physical and mental health an actual practice. The workbook is divided into three sections that combine short essays, empowering quotes, quotes from authors or experts but, mostly crucial, bold, brave questions phrased as writing prompts that invite the reader to recognize the roadblocks and walls that have prevented them from pursuing health in all areas of their lives. Taken together, the written responses will create a map to begin what is a life-long journey of becoming and being healthy every day, in mind, spirit and body.
