As humans, we deal with so much in our daily life but knowing that it’s okay to ask for help is key. So today, in celebration of black history month here are some curated lists of self-care books by black authors. A few weeks ago, I asked a few of my girlfriends for recommendations on books that have impacted their lives. Surprisingly, I got an impressive ever-growing list so I decided to narrow it down and instead showcase self-help books for women by African American authors. In reviewing the list they gave me, these eight African American women got rave reviews and were highly recommended. A few are popular self-help books while others are not well known.
