She does anything for her family friends and significant other, even at the cost of her own well-being. Hubbard argues that this way of life has left Black women exhausted, overworked, overlooked, and feeling depleted. She urges readers to expel the myth that your self-worth is connected to how much labor your provide others, and guides you toward healing. -- adapted from jacket ER -
