Why Is The Superwoman Project Important?
- The ‘Superwoman’ trope paints African American women as unbreakable pillars of strength who are bottomless wells of love and forgiveness and remarkably dignified even in the face of struggle.
- According to the National Library of Medicine, African American Women have significantly increased health risks and limited resources.
- Studies show, African American women’s health disparities like obesity, untreated depression, and adverse birth outcomes are a byproduct of coping with racial discrimination and stress.
- Black/African Americans hold beliefs related to stigma, psychological openness and help seeking, which in turn affects their coping behaviors.
