 ncourage readers to think deeply about the origins of their wellness pract
 ices and how their past shapes the present.</p>\n<p>Self-care isn&rsquo\;t
  a trend among Black women\; it has always been a constant in our heritage
 . From Coretta Scott King\, Betty Shabazz\, and Myrlie Evers-Williams taki
 ng intentional pauses amid the Civil Rights Movement\, to Rosa Parks pract
 icing yoga\, to Toni Morrison tending her gardens while writing literary c
 lassics\,<span>&nbsp\;</span><em>Bloom How You Must</em><span>&nbsp\;</spa
 n>situates rest\, joy\, and community as acts of resilience and survival.<
 /p>\n<p>An intentional mix of deep research\, personal stories and intervi
 ews with more than 100 Black women ages 19-99\, this book is an instructio
 n manual to claim and shape new generational legacies around healing\, wel
 lness and self-care.</p>\n<p><strong>ABO</strong><strong>UT THE EVENT</str
