Strong. Black. Woman.

Strong. Black. Woman.
With shades of Sapphire’s hardness, the myth embodies the idea of African American women as perpetually tough and uniquely indestructible. 

Strong. Black. Woman. 

The words fit together like Blue Magic, sizzling hot combs, and Sunday afternoon. 

We are the fighters and the women who don’t take no mess from anyone. We are the sassy women with the sharp tongues and hands firmly on our hips. We are the ride-or-die chicks. We are the women who have, like Sojourner Truth, “plowed and planted and gathered into barns.” We are the mothers who make a way out of no way, making sure our children had everything they needed and more.
 
Too often, we are the women who dare not give in to our vulnerability, even as we’re breaking, emotionally and physically.
 
Many women find undeniable truth, liberation, and empowerment in the “strong black woman” meme.  
Some have found many black women unwilling to let go of the idea of strength as part of their identity. When the myth is challenged, it is nearly always met with debate. 

Some women say, "I actually take pride in being strong, why would you want to take that from me?”
 
This is the key:

Realizing “I am strong and I am powerful, but I am also vulnerable and I am also able to break and because of that I should be very careful with myself and expect the people around me to be careful with me as well—to support me, help me, provide encouragement, and provide some kind of relief.” 

And that is the problem—at least part of it. It is easy to forget that people who are strong need support and relief. It is sometimes depressingly hard for even black women to remember that they are not, indeed, superwomen.
 
This is my reasoning for forming a “Sister Circle” where we can come together and meet each other’s needs by supporting each other as we learn how to be vulnerable and strong, for “in our weaknesses, we are strong (see 2 Corinthians 12:10). This is how we move towards healing.

Meet Tabitha King

 
For years, I felt helpless inside my own body.

Hi, I am a wife and mother, a minister, a massage therapist, and a holistic health coach. 
I am passionate about working with the body and learning more about how our bodies work, but more importantly, how to be made whole in our bodies, minds, and spirits.

Through the years, I had become a workaholic and never felt any peace. I was overwhelmed and stressed with dis-ease and pain.  I had to stop working for a while because of the chronic pain while having a husband and three children at home who needed me. 

I struggled with my health for quite some time, and I went through worse times before they got better. 

How many times have you been to a doctor, and they acted as if they couldn't figure out what's going on with you, so you go seeking doctor after doctor, looking for someone to help you because you know you are dealing with pain and need help figuring out the problem? How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and end up feeling like you failed at all those things? 

And then, it happened. I have found something amazing that is helping me to understand I AM a healthy being, and I CAN recommit to a healthy, wealthy life!

I was introduced to a different way of living that many people are talking a lot about lately. I realized for my chronic situations; I needed to start getting my health under control. I’d considered it before, but I kept cycling back into a downward spiral going through a valley filled with pain. 

Prolonged physical illness not only affects us physically, but it affects everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many tend to suffer a lot at the hands of doctors who make them worse, not better. I have dealt with this and it has put a bitter taste in my mouth towards doctors. The different medications did not lead to helping me get better, but they caused more pain, and side effects from the medicines caused deeper stress to my body. Anger, hurt, and pain kept showing up in my life, and I didn't know how to deal with it. These things controlled my mind, but now I am being made free. I love God, but, for quite some time, while I knew the Word says, "There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus," I was still suffering from condemnation, guilt, blame, and shame.  Now, I have learned to persevere with joy during my pain because in the end, by faith, God will get the victory through my life's journey, and I can walk in my victory daily!

I’m on a mission to help people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself.
