Self-esteem ain't self-taught—and it does see color.
Let's be real: society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind. Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women… except when they need us to either save them or serve them. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power?
The answer: Self-esteem. In Drink Water and Mind Your Business, Dr. Donna Oriowo helps readers understand the basic foundations of self-esteem—what it is, how society molds it, and how it affects us all—and offers real, meaningful solutions to feel like the most glorious and badass versions of themselves.
