The Joy of Thriving While Black

The phrase "while Black" was coined to signal the dangers that Black people sometimes face doing everyday things like driving, jogging and holding a cell phone. The Joy of Thriving While Black turns that idea on its head.

Part memoir, part invitation for self-reflection, The Joy of Thriving While Black is about the intersection between Blackness and well-being. Author Charisse M. Williams examines thriving while Black as both an individual pursuit and a collective experience. Driven by her personal narratives and those of the friends she profiles, the book explores ten contributors to thriving including community, pride, self-care and resilience.

In addition to offering inspiring stories, in The Joy of Thriving While Black, Williams shares her wisdom on:

• How to coach yourself towards growth and change.
• Reframing limiting beliefs that keep you stuck and interfere with you living your best life.
• Questions for reflection to help you find more joy and thrive.
