? #CiteBlackWomenSundays ? Today, we celebrate Dr. Keisha Bentley-Edwards and Dr. Valerie Adams-Bass for their work: "I Am Not (Your) Superwoman, Black Girl Magic, or Beautiful Struggle: Rethinking the Resilience of Black Women and Girls," published in American Psychologist. This powerful article challenges the glorification of struggle through #BlackGirlMagic and Strong Black Woman schemas, urging researchers, interventionists, and practitioners to rethink resilience for Black women and girls. By integrating Black feminist thought and womanism frameworks, the authors provide critical insights to promote the healthy development of Black women and girls across the lifespan. Resilience, as they argue, must go beyond glorifying survival. It requires addressing immediate psychosocial and physical needs while dismantling systemic barriers that perpetuate adversity. This is essential reading for anyone committed to equity and justice.
