The Real Lives of Strong Black Women: Transcending Myths,
Reclaiming Joy
Time: 4 pm
Place: Trabant Theatre
Too often, women of color feel compelled to become “chronic
caregivers,” sacrificing the ability to become truly free and fulfilled
individuals, which exacts a great emotional and physical cost. In his
book, The Real Lives of Strong Black Women,
author Toby Thompkins, University of Delaware alumnus, shows how we can
supplant the myth of the strong black woman so that women can learn how
to better pursue their dreams and care for themselves.
