What do you do when you are feeling called to a task much bigger than you? How do you respond when you sense God is asking you to pursue a particular vocation, and yet others around you are discouraging you from such a pursuit-because you're a woman? Where can you turn for empowering confidence? The voices of biblical women reveal the keys to resilient confidence you need to fulfill your unique purpose. Each of the 13 biblical women presented in this book was chosen by God-instead of a man-to be the first person in Scripture to experience God in a new way, to express a new truth about God, or to proclaim a new message from God. Hear afresh the voices of Eve, Hagar, Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Huldah, Elizabeth, Mary of Nazareth, Anna, the Samaritan Woman, Martha, Mary Magdalene, and Lydia. Their stories offer the keys to resilient confidence! As our world spirals with continued consequences of women being treated as "less-than," these real women will teach you how to exhibit faithfulness, wisdom, courage, and leadership against the odds. See these biblical women's stories come to life in the context of world history and renew your confidence in your equal status with men as God's image-bearer capable of fulfilling God's call on your life. Be empowered! God highly values women's voices, abilities, and bodies!

Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution.

Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

Major Health Crisis Among Black Women Generated from Systemic Racism “Marita Golden’s The Strong Black Woman busts the myth that Black women are fierce and resilient by letting the reader in under the mask that proclaims ‘Black don’t crack.’” ―Karen Arrington, coach, mentor, philanthropist, and author of NAACP Image Award-winning Your Next Level Life Sarton Women’s Book Award #1 New Release in Reference Meet Black women who have learned through hard lessons the importance of self-care and how to break through the cultural and family resistance to seeking therapy and professional mental health care. The Strong Black Woman Syndrome. For generations, in response to systemic racism, Black women and African American culture created the persona of the Strong Black Woman, a woman who, motivated by service and sacrifice, handles, manages, and overcomes any problem, any obstacle. The syndrome calls on Black women to be the problem-solvers and chief caretakers for everyone in their lives―never buckling, never feeling vulnerable, and never bothering with their pain. Hidden mental health crisis of anxiety and depression. To be a Black woman in America is to know you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, your value is consistently questioned, and even being “twice as good” is often not good enough. Consequently, Black women disproportionately experience anxiety and depression. Studies now conclusively connect racism and mental health―and physical health. Take care of your emotional health. You deserve to be emotionally healthy for yourself and those you love. More and more young Black women are re-examining the Strong Black Woman syndrome and engaging in self-care practices that change their lives. Hear stories of Black women who: Asked for help Built lives that offer healing Learned to accept healing If you have read The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, The Racial Healing Handbook, or Black Fatigue, The Strong Black Woman is your next read.
