Figuring Out the Negative Effects of Being a “Strong Black Woman”
Many black women in America feel pressured to act like or be seen as “strong,” projecting themselves as self-sacrificing, emotionless, and unbreakable in their daily lives. However, the “strong black woman” identity can actually be harmful to black women. In this episode of Figure Out Your Life podcast, I talk with my friends Claire Gibson, an intellectual property attorney, and Courtenay Barton, a philanthropist, about being black women in America and explore how the “strong black woman” identity can negatively impact black women’s lives and well-being.     Links mentioned in this episode: The Misconception of the Strong Black Woman How the “Strong Black Woman” Identity Both Helps and Hurts Taraji P.
