Our Stop Calling Me Strong series continues with Speaker, Teacher, Advocate, and certified Life Coach, Jacqueline Lofton, once upon a time the quintessential strong black woman. Jacqueline took care of everybody and everything at home and at work and did so seemingly flawlessly. That is, everybody got her care but her. In S3 E6, Jacqueline talks about having a breakdown in 2017, which had her asking..

• What about ME?
• When can I be vulnerable?
• When can I depend on other people to take care of ME?
• When does somebody care about ME?

She shares what happened that turned her breakdown into a breakthrough. We explore:

• What's often at the root of the strong black woman's drive to give and do too much
• How and why black parents crush their children's dreams.
• The role that Black Excellence plays in strong black women's lives

We wrap up our conversation with ways the SBW can get off the hamster wheel of "I'm not enough" and "I got something to prove."
