Another book for the win!!! I loved, loved, loved everything about this book from the message to all the empowering information within it. The author thoroughly explores sisterhood amongst black women, how we can save space and show up for one another, building new friendships, how we can be supportive friends and create long-lasting bonds.

For those who aren’t aware Dr. Bradford is behind the amazing podcast and IG page @therapyforblackgirls where she offers great resources and advice for black women. Her book empowers black sisterhood and how sacred our sister circles are to us. You may or may not be struggling within your friend groups but this book offers so much insight that it’ll have you looking at things from a different perspective.

We don’t realize how much we actually need our friends or how much it means for us to show up for one another. “The best way for Black women to thrive is through our healthy relationships with other Black women.” I love how she discusses the life stages our friendships go through and how to navigate them when things change up.

In the book she used the tv show “Girlfriends” as a reference for the friend circle and had me watching old episodes all yesterday lol. She mentioned that Black women in groups, sisters tend to fall into one of four roles: the Leader, the Wallflower, the Firecracker, and the Peacemaker. These roles are not at all static or absolute. I think “Girlfriends” was a perfect example of these roles.

Overall, this was amazing a must read for sure. She spoke on so much and a lot of the stuff mentioned are things many of us can relate too. Her writing was captivating, insightful, and again very relatable. Most definitely a book I recommend we should all read. Special thanks to the author & @penguinrandomhouse #ballantine for my gifted copy!!!
