Shades of Strong
join us in uncaping, unmasking, & unhiding
… because being strong is not binary. You can be doing this and that simultaneously. You can be resilient and still have moments when you’re falling apart at the seams. You can be vocally resolute while refusing to accept the nonsense being hurled at you in (and out of) the workplace. You can be a natural nurturer while not putting your needs on the back burner. You can do and be all the things while still embracing your humanness.
If you’re Strong Black Woman ready to throw the superwoman cape back at all the people who are constantly throwing it at you, you’re in the right place at the right time.
Welcome to Shades of Strong
Here in the Queendom We Dance to the Beat of Our Own Strong
let go of what no longer
serves me.
Amber
is not determined by what I do,
but who I am.
G -Michelle
I was created this way on purpose
It’s my superpower.
Lakeisha
to accept all parts
of me unconditionally.
Ife
all the time and I’m okay with that.
I cry. I feel. I heal.
Angela
in my vulnerability and knowing
that it’s not a weakness.

“My Strong Is” Feature
“… this is a trumped up image of the Strong Black Woman and I do think that is killing us emotionally and mentally because we become so afraid of falling short of this image, of this standard that society has set for us, that we’ve set for ourselves…”
My Strong Is HONEST
