Book Description
Speaker, writer, and producer Trey Anthony breaks it down, giving black women a relatable voice and personalized "keeping it real" to-do list on how to practice self-love and self-care. Therapy is not just for white women-no matter what your momma told you! After a lifetime of never truly relating to the personal development experts because of the color of her skin, Trey Anthony has written the book she needed to read as a black woman trying to navigate a world filled with unique challenges that often acts like she doesn't exist. On the outside Trey Anthony was the overachieving, reliable, and strong black woman she was raised to be, but on the inside the pressure of sacrificing her own needs to please others was building. When her grandmother and mother raised her strong, they also unknowingly taught her that self-love and expressing emotions were weak, creating an unhealthy dynamic that had Trey facing burnout and rock bottom. In Black Girl in Love (with Herself), Trey breaks down the lessons and tools that she used to heal her life, including how to: • Set clear and healthy boundaries-even with the people who raised you • Quit being the family ATM • Sort out who is a real friend, and who is just there for parties and gossip • Confront microaggressions at work without missing a beat • Forget who black women are "supposed" to be And fall in love with yourself!

Book Description
A young girl learns a valuable lesson about disappointment, acceptance, silver linings, and unexpected opportunities. Sometimes in life, children (and adults!) want something so badly that they can't let go of the idea that what they want is "meant to be." This story, based on a real-life experience, follows a young girl named Macey through the process of losing something that she thought was meant for her. On the other side of disappointment and heartache, Macey learns that sometimes losing out on what we thought we wanted opens the door for something just as good-or even better! Is It Meant to Be? is based on a true story that happened to the author, Kristina, and her family. One night, at their ranch in Idaho, a dog showed up out of nowhere. The family all fell in love with him and felt that he had come to them for a reason. It seemed like he was meant to be their dog. The events that happened after that and the lessons they learned in the process inspired Kristina to write this book.
