Ms. Perfect, Bendy Girl, and the Invisible Woman

Black Girl Super Hero Personas

Sometimes Black girls show up as superwomen, but this can look different for each of us. You might people-please, while I make myself small so others will have space. Or maybe you show up perfectly, unable to tolerate imperfection. Whichever it is, Ms. Perfect, Bendy Girl, or the Invisible Woman, let's explore how our superwoman persona may be impacting us negatively and creating friction in our relationships.
