Black women and superwoman syndrome
We asked Dr. Jackson which messages are passed down to girls, particularly in Black families, that may not serve those girls as they grow into women. She said, “The strong Black woman idea puts Black women as being able to do it all, take on everything – even to the point of fatigue, while often being devalued and overlooked by her family, community, and society as a whole. Sadly this message is taught at home and in society starting at an early age as Black girls are becoming adults.”
