Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE BLACKBOARD NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR

Learn to love yourself in this wise, funny, insightful pocket-sized guide—the first book by a Black psychotherapist to address the issue of self-esteem in Black women’s lives.

A collection of conversational narratives from a diverse range of unique voices, In the Company of My Sisters explores what it means to have self-esteem as a Black woman in the world today, confronting entrenched, internalized assumptions and offering new, empowering perspectives in their place.

“I wrote this book to validate and celebrate who we are,” Boyd has said. “We have been the recipients of many distorted messages about our ethnicity and our femaleness.” With this thesis in mind, Boyd has drawn from a wealth of experience—her own and that of her “sister circle”—to take a hard and honest look at the realities and issues Black women face, and in this anthology of their stories, you can discover a new and validating pathway forward toward higher self-esteem. 

“Practical, hilarious, and common sense advice for self-care and self-recovery.”—Common Boundary
