For Jamaican American Women

The Strength Nobody Asked If You Wanted

You are strong. Nobody asked you if you wanted to be. This is where you write what you want.

This is for:

For the Jamaican American woman who has inherited the reputation for strength and resilience — and is working through what that inheritance costs, what she wants, and who she is beneath the performance

You'll produce:your Your Jamaican Self-Definition

The Name It First Experience

In Jamaican culture and in the world that watches Jamaican women, you are strong. Resilient. Capable. You have been proving it since you were a child. The question nobody has asked is what that strength has cost you — what you set down to carry it, what you wanted that you never said out loud, who you are when nobody needs you to be strong right now. This workbook is for that version of yourself. You leave with The Jamaican American Woman's Self-Definition — a named document of who you are beyond what strength is asked of you.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What does strength cost you — and what do you want back?
  2. Where did the reputation for strength come from in your family — and who decided you had to carry it?
  3. What do you want to be allowed to be that the strong Jamaican woman isn't supposed to be?
