Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"As a professional Black woman, it's been a long time since I've read a book and felt so deeply seen. Jasmine Marie speaks with ease and authority. She not only roots out the reasons behind our collective trauma but she also provides guidance for deep personal reflection. This powerful and actionable read navigates the space between awakening and healing. It reads like one long exhale, and Marie's guidance feels familiar, like a dear friend who wants your healing as much as her own."--Faye McCray, Author and Former Vice President and Head of Content at Well + Good and Livestrong, and Former Editor in Chief of Psych Central
"Following in the footsteps of black feminist healers such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and Adrienne Maree Brown---Black Girls Breathing affirms Jasmine Marie's status as one of the most important voices of her generation. Black Girls Breathing is more than simply a book: it is a poignant reflection of the Black experience, a communal-call-to-action, and a sacred revolution. This is the book--and the healing movement--that our world, and most importantly Black women, have been waiting for." --Dr. Frank Leon Roberts, Co-Founder of The National Black Justice Coalition, and Professor of English and African American Studies, Amherst College
