What If Everything You Were Taught About Being A Strong Black Woman Was a Lie?
You’re the one everyone depends on.
You hold the vision at work, the family together, and your emotions in check.
On paper, you're winning—but behind the scenes?
You’re tired.
Not just “need a nap” tired.
We’re talking soul-tired.
Because the strength you’ve been praised for… is starting to feel like a prison.
7 Dirty Secrets of a Strong Black Woman is a raw, honest look at what it costs to live in survival mode for too long.
It’s part memoir, part mirror—unpacking the hidden weight high-achieving Black women carry, and the unspoken toll of always having it together.
In these pages, I tell the truth most of us were never allowed to say out loud:
That we’ve been hurting. That we’ve ignored our own needs.
That we’ve confused resilience with denial.
And that healing won’t come by pretending we’re okay.
This is your invitation to stop performing and start honoring your real story.
If you’ve been strong for everyone else but don’t know how to be soft for yourself—this book is for you.

I’m Dr. Rhonda Alexander, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that the “Strong Black Woman” trope needs to be dismantled. In my book, 7 Dirty Secrets of A Strong Black Woman, I expose the emotional and physical toll that "strength at all costs" takes on us. This isn’t just another “you’ve got this” self-help book; it's my memoir and a movement. It's a call to action for those of us who are tired of holding it all together while secretly falling apart.
As the founder of SoulScribe, I help people turn their personal stories into six-figure revenue streams, showing them how to use their experiences to fuel success. I’m dedicated to empowering women -- especially Black women -- to rediscover their voice and build legacies on their own terms. I want them to know that their vulnerability is an asset, even in the areas where they’re experts. By embracing that authenticity, they can share their journey to success, monetize their expertise, and shake up their industry— without having to hide who they truly are.
