Positive, community and informative.
How can Black women change the narrative of negative stereotypes of themselves?
Black women can change the narrative of negative stereotypes by stepping up to tell their own stories. There are so many Black women who are leading in high power positions, while serving as mothers, wives, caregivers, volunteers and so much more. I think we should show the world that we as Black women are human and therefore imperfect, yet at the same time, we are empowered, powerful, resourceful and effective. I believe Black women have taken back the narrative through movements like #BlackGivesRock and #BlackGirlMagic and by giving each other credit where it is due.
In terms of self-care, what are three things women can do to preserve themselves for a healthy future?

clearer head and less negative thoughts.
Regular exercise keeps me healthy and ups my confidence.
Time with those I love. [Whether] it’s with friends or family, spending time with those I love, especially on vacation, is rejuvenating.
