Dr Durrs Living In The Sweet Spot, January 10, 2024
Many women strive for excellence every day for themselves and their families. The strong black woman, also called the black superwoman complex, is a strong, resilient, African-American woman, who strives for excellence in all areas of her life to prove she isn’t inferior or inadequate and that she's deserving of the same equal opportunities and access to meaningful resources and success as her white male counterparts. The sacrifice for her super achievements is the denial of her own pain and needs.
Bridgette Arnett, MD, PhD. and Mawusi Arnett, MD, MPH discuss:
- The economics and racial inequities that perpetuate the false narrative of the African-American woman’s inferiority in order to keep resources for a dominant patriarchy’s profit, power, and pleasure
- How this system conditions all women to meet the needs of others while ignoring their own
- How the recent resignation of former Harvard President, Claudine Gay, the only African-American female in Harvard’s history, illustrates her excellence wasn’t enough to prove her worthiness nor shield her from false accusations of plagiarism, and how she was discredited by a wealthy donor whose wife had actually committed plagiarism
- How does any of this apply to and have meaning for the average, hardworking woman
- How a tribal mentality and the fight for resources is designed to keep most Americans impoverished because the color that matters most is the color green
- If you don’t like you, you don’t value you and won’t take care of you. You have to like you to exercise self-compassion and take care of yourself.
- How your wellness super powers help you achieve and sustain health and wellness, including weight loss.
- How do we stop allowing others to define and confine us so we can live happy, healthy lives expressing our greatest potential!
