Talking With Dr. Toy: This Is for Us--The Wisdom Of Surrender (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was reading a devotional that contained the following statement: "The fruit of the Spirit isn't produced through striving; it grows through surrender." Another verse says it this way; "Cease Striving and know that I am God." To cease striving and to surrender maybe the antithesis of what women of color have been instructed to do because for many, 'all our lives, we've had to fight." That posture of fighting maybe so prevalent that the concept of surrender, waving the white flag, is viewed as a

Read excerpt
I was talking to someone who questioned her value and worth because of the past trauma and present microaggressions she experienced.

Read excerpt

I encourage Black women to make themselves a priority in their own lives and practice balance. It's difficult due to an
Talking With Dr. Toy: This Is For Us--You're More Than Your Work! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Work and productivity have been promoted as the ultimate indicators of success and achievement. At times we internalize our worth and value are tied to our productivity and work. So as long as we can produce, we're worthy and we're good enough to belong. However, there's more to you than your work, your title, and your position. Affirmation of your authentic identity anchors you in your place work because you "own your voice and your career." I encourage you to Remember WHO you are not what's to
