Boundaries, family expectations, and self-advocacy

Shatara S. Clark frames boundary-setting through her perspective as a Black woman raised in the South, connecting everyday expectations around customs and traditions with the difficulty of having personal limits recognized. The book addresses guilt, pressure to accommodate others, and concerns about mental health, while presenting boundaries as a way to choose oneself rather than an act of selfishness. Its subject is both personal and relational: how people communicate limits and maintain them amid family and social expectations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in boundary-setting in everyday relationships
  • Readers exploring family expectations and self-advocacy from a Black woman’s perspective
  • Those interested in discussions of mental health and personal limits

Book overview

It's a FACT: all races and ethnicities struggle with boundaries, but as a black girl raised in the south, I have had a front seat to our many customs, traditions, mindsets, and mentalities that do not respect, acknowledge, or make room for boundaries; as well as the lack of mental health seriousness. It is truly time that we stop begging people to acknowledge our boundaries or not putting them up in fear of hurt feelings. It's time that we embrace them, enforce them, and choose OURSELVES! This is not a book about being selfish, it's about choosing you, and not feeling bad about your decision. No more guilt tripping no more running yourself ragged due to false flattery. It's time to be 100 with yourself and others, and maintain those boundaries that can keep you sane, content, and overall just happy! This book is guaranteed to bless and enrich your life! Enjoy!
