Strong Black Womanitis
Intersectionally paying the cost - Socioeconomically forced to be the boss
I’m talking about Black Women - Your mamas, nanas, sisters, and aunts
Enter their home and they always got something good cooking in their pot
Mmmmmmm - They make anything taste better - Black Women equivalent to Go Getter
Keeping the faith and secrets while they silently suffer in pain
Feeling guilty saying no - Choked by the cross on their neck held by a rope chain
Neglecting self-care and doing the most - Making a way out of no way - World’s Best Host
A Mary J lyric at the tip of their tongue
They’ve gone through some shit, but that melanin got them looking real young
Truth is - They’re feeling older than they are
Accomplishments stacking - steady raising the bar
On auto pilot so it looks effortless - Listen when I tell you, Black women are stressed
They tried to relax - they went as far as their hair
Fibroids, Alopecia, Cancer causing agents - it’s not fair
Doctors not believing that something’s wrong - Déjà-vu when we feel like we don’t belong
Government regulating our bodies and births
Health outcomes different for Black Women – statistically worse
Redefining femininity or waiting for permission to drop our guards
Other women have no idea, Being a Black Woman is HARD
We want Sojourner Truth’s question answered
Ain’t I a woman? Society expecting us to be super but not human
Help me, Listen to me, See me, Love me, Protect me
A few things on my list - Because Black women tend to suffer from Strong Black Womanitis
-By Vick Breedy
It is when we feel our weakest that we must be our strongest. Black women know this intimately. This is a story that centers around Black women who always have something going on, something to overcome, and something to get through. This is a story about family feuds, sisterhood, unlikely friendships, and love. Vick Breedy wrote this novel to highlight Black women’s remarkable ability to tap into their Bounce Back Magic when faced with adversity.

This novel is meant to serve as an acknowledgement. The vulnerability expressed in this novel is the author’s way of saying, “I see you!” This three-way conversation between the author, character, and reader is a creative outlet that encourages Black women to prioritize self-care, to do what it takes to feel whole, to feel fulfilled, to find balance.
It is overwhelming to be a Black woman in America. Bounce Back Magic signals women to take this life one day at a time. Don’t go at it alone. Accept help. Accept love. Expect love. And love back. Remember it’s not what happens to us that defines us. It’s how we respond to it that matters most.
