If you're a black woman trying to cultivate the motivation, confidence, and self-love you've always wanted, then keep reading! Are you a black woman who's struggling to find motivation and meaning in your life? Have you felt like your efforts are futile because nothing you do feels like it's making an impact? Do you wish you could just become the confident, self-assured woman you've always dreamed yourself to be? You're not alone in this struggle. Many black women like us are struggling with the same feelings of helplessness when it comes to our personal and professional lives. This lack of motivation often causes us to struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-doubt, and other mental and emotional issues. When we stop believing in our own power to make positive changes in our life, it's easy for negative thought patterns to take over. We may become apathetic toward everything around us. It's like we've forgotten how to feel. Black women are expected to keep their heads down and not cause a fuss, yet they're also expected to go above and beyond for everyone in our lives. This is the double bind that black women face every single day. But you don't have to make yourself suffer any longer. Becoming motivated, confident, and self-aware is a journey that starts with small steps. In

In his nearly two terms as president, Barack Obama has solidified his status as something black people haven't had for fifty years: a folk hero. The 1960s delivered Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, forever twinned as larger-than-life outsiders and truth tellers who took on racism and died in the process. Obama is different: Not an outsider but president, head of the most powerful state in the world; a centrist Democrat, not the face of a movement. Yet he is every bit a folk hero, doing battle with the beast of a system created to keep people like him on the margins. He is unique among presidents and entirely unique among black people, who never expected to have a president so soon. In I Heart Obama, journalist Erin Aubry Kaplan offers an unapologetic appreciation of our highest-ranking "First" and what he means to black Americans. In the process, she explores the critiques of those in the black community who charge that he has not done enough, been present enough, been black enough to motivate real change in America. Racial antipathy cloaked as political antipathy has been the major conflict in Obama's presidency. His impossible task as an individual and as a president is nothing less than this: to reform the entire racist culture of the country he leads. Black people know he can't do it, but will support his effort anyway, as they have supported the efforts of many others. Obama's is a noble and singular story we will tell for generations. I Heart Obama looks at the story so far.

John Jennings (b. 1970) is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Damian Duffy on the New York Times bestseller and Eisner Award–winning graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler’s Kindred. However, Jennings is also a graphic designer and comic book scholar who, throughout his career, has conducted several interviews that shed light on the importance of Black Speculative narratives. The most enlightening of his interviews are brought together in John Jennings: Conversations. As a collective these interviews explore folklore, systemic racism, his Mississippi roots, and the phrase Jennings cocreated, the Ethnogothic. Jennings discusses the necessity for black heroes, not just for the sake of diversity, but for inclusiveness, touching on the conventions he has cofounded, such as the Schomburg Center’s Black Comic Book Festival in Harlem. He addresses the struggle to be financially compensated for work, and he speaks at length about how being a professor informs his craft where he continues to examine black stereotypes in popular culture with courses of his own design. As a group the interviews in John Jennings: Conversations give a picture of a black man forging a way where comic books have afforded him a means to carve out an important space for people of color.
