She Was Never Meant to Carry Everything Alone: The Superwoman Schema

She Was Never Meant to Carry Everything Alone introduces The Superwoman Schema—the hidden pattern that teaches many women, especially Black women, to equate strength with constant self-sacrifice. Blending lived experience, psychiatric insight, trauma-informed education, and faith, Chunichi David explores the emotional, physical, and spiritual cost of carrying everything alone. Through eight transformative phases, readers are invited to redefine strength, relearn safety, embrace rest, and discover healing that is rooted—not rushed.
