3.0 out of 5 stars An Affirming Collection, October 8, 2004

By	The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Journey To Empowerment (Hardcover)

In JOURNEY TO EMPOWERMENT, Maria Dowd brings together a diverse array of contributors all sharing their personal experiences and journeys toward a deeper sense of self. This isn't a religious collection per se, but it is deeply spiritual and encompasses many of the varied world views found among African American women. The book contains personal experiences, poetry, inspiring quotes, affirmations and questions for further introspection or journaling. It covers a diverse subject matter all under the umbrella of women's issues, including love, body image, domestic violence, motherhood, and menopause.

JOURNEY TO EMPOWERMENT will lead you on a healing journey and will lead to a greater love of self, and a deeper understanding of the many roles we all must play in life. The book will help you prioritize your energies and rededicate yourself to the things that are important in your life. It encourages you to have spiritual, self, and community awareness. While the collection has far reaching breadth, none of the particular topics are explored in great depth. As a result, it left me wanting more, but it did plant a seed that I can now nourish and feed with other materials.
