Sisterhood Unbound: Breaking Free from Codependency's Chains will uncover the patterns that have constrained black women for far too long and illuminate the path towards liberation. It will be a guiding light for all the black women who have ever felt trapped, voiceless, putting themselves last, or confined by the expectations of others.

Together, let us embark on this empowering journey as we celebrate the resilience, strength, and brilliance of black women. As we venture forward, may we stand hand in hand, breaking free from the chains that once bound us, and step boldly into a future where we not only survive but thrive.
