This review is from: Life Lessons for My Black Girls: How to Make Wise Choices and Live a Life You Love! (Paperback)

Munson writes with wisdom, humanity, humor and empathy. Her advice feels like heart-felt concern, not a lecture. I could have used this book 30 years ago.

This review is from: Life Lessons for My Black Girls: How to Make Wise Choices and Live a Life You Love! (Paperback)

Natasha Munson is onto something wonderful, uplifting and inspiring and she's sharing it with women everywhere in her book, LIFE LESSONS FOR MY BLACK GIRLS. This book should be used as a resource for those who are looking to define, discover, or simply to love themselves. Munson uses a list of 138 items broken up into various sections to guide and encourage women on the journey of life. She shares things such as loving yourself first, not giving up on yourself, sticking to your values, choosing battles wisely, knowing your past, and a host of other lessons. What I really love about the book is not only does she tell the lesson, she expands on it, and then recaps it in an easy to read, straight-forward manner that anyone can understand and appreciate.

LIFE LESSONS FOR MY BLACK GIRLS comes highly recommended for any woman or even for teenagers ready to take the step towards being adults. It succinctly and soundly shows that success and happiness are truly in our own hands.
