Disclaimer: I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to WOW! Women on Writing, Mango, and Karen Arrington for this free copy.
I appreciated the wisdom that Arrington gave me in this book. I appreciated that it was pretty succinct and straightforward, and didn’t feel like it was preaching to me. The seven rules that Arrington gave us to take our life to the next level may seem easy, but they definitely are. And from the mini personal stories that we see with each rule, we can see how there are so many ways following these rules can go.
The journal prompts and the resources provided at the end of the book were all so helpful as well. I like that she gave us resources on political advocacy & engagement since that is the area that I’m passionate about the most. This book felt pretty universal, for me meaning that it didn’t matter what kind of life I wanted to live but I could still look to this novel to give me support and tips on how to get there.
I recommend this novel, and while my review is short, the knowledge that I gained, and the feeling of hope that I felt after reading this will sit with me forever. I plan on referencing this book whenever I feel like slowing down, or giving up, or just want to reread one of the rules to get myself going again. Thank you again so much Karen Arrington for writing this book, and I truly can’t wait to tap in to my own black girl magic.
I also love how compact this book is! I can literally carry it with me everywhere in my purse. And it kind of matches my purse too. I think Karen Arrington would be such an amazing mentor also! It was great to get to know her through her words and wisdom. Have you read this one yet? Be sure to click on the link above to see the other tour stops!
