Maparyan writes about the spiritual movement of Womanism and the importance of Black women's healing of self, not just of others. "Black Women," she writes, "have proven historically and transculturally to be peerless healers across an unbroken thread of time and space. Yet Black women today must first turn our healing gifts upon ourselves."
