A New Literary Movement Is Here to Rewrite the Narrative for Black Women Everywhere

“BLACK WOMEN AREN’T STRONG: WE’RE RESILIENT!” Volume 1 Officially Launches

 Featuring 12 Courageous Co-Authors Redefining What Strength Really Means

[Fredericksburg, VA — December 1, 2025] After generations of being labeled strong, expected to endure the unimaginable, and praised for surviving what should’ve broken them, Black women now have a platform to reclaim the language around their lives, their softness, their humanness, and their identity.

On December 17, 2025, Tameka Chapman, award-winning business growth strategist, global speaker, and founder of energizeHER™, will officially release Volume 1 of her groundbreaking anthology series:

BLACK WOMEN AREN’T STRONG: WE’RE RESILIENT!

This release marks the beginning of a historic literary and cultural movement designed to challenge the mythology of “strength” that has long silenced Black women’s emotional truths.

The inaugural volume features 12 powerful co-authors who courageously peeled back the layers of their lives, allowing readers to witness their valleys, their breaking points, but also their resilient rise. Together, these women stand as a collective voice for Black women worldwide who are unlearning survival and embracing their right to feel, heal, be soft, be human, and be whole.

Volume 1 Contributing Authors:

Lantoinette Clarke (Foreword Author), Alicia Sylve, Bria Collins, Carleeka Basnight-Menendez, Czarina Lynell, Dr. Lori Lewis, Psy.D., Kymme Browne, Latoya Vickers, Lois Larkins, Nandria Shaw-Rocio, ShaDonna McPhaul, and Tina F. Foy.

These women represent musicians and vocalists, CEOs, corporate menopause consultants, licensed Christian therapists, salon owners, autism advocates, self-care leaders, storytellers, screenwriters, film directors, business advisors, community builders, and Evangelists.

Different journeys; different battles; one sound of resilience.

________________________________________

From the Visionary, Tameka Chapman:

“Unfortunately, for most Black women, we never knew the word ‘resilient’ because we were called strong… strong-minded, strong-willed, able to handle tough situations that should have caused collapse. At home, we didn’t have the luxury of not doing things because they were too hard. We didn’t complain about it because it wasn’t allowed. We were expected to do as we were told and to not show emotions even when it didn’t seem fair. Yet, here we are as adult Black women trying to find ourselves, trying to explain and over-explain who we are as Black women, and trying to fit into a mold that was created with us in mind.”

This anthology does not glamorize suffering. It dignifies the women who lived through it. Each chapter is a testimony of truth and transformation.

LIVE BOOK LAUNCH EVENT: December 17 @ 8PM EST

A global interactive experience featuring:

• Author stories

• Healing-centered conversation

• The book highlight trailer premiere

• Special guest speakers

This night is more than an unveiling; these black women are reclaiming their identity of resilience.

Maya, described by her family and mentors as fun, bubbly, and hardworking, has already demonstrated a strong commitment to both education and athletics. A graduate with a passion for science, she developed a special interest in chemistry during her high school years, crediting the engaging instruction of her teacher, Linda Jarman, for sparking her enthusiasm in the subject. This academic foundation is serving as a launchpad for her future studies.

With the help of the Hall of Fame scholarship, Maya is now an incoming freshman at Fayetteville Technical Community College, where she plans to pursue a two-year degree in medical sonography. After completing the program, she intends to continue her education by majoring in business administration at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T). This dual focus reflects her long-term vision of combining health sciences with entrepreneurial ambition.

The recognition came during an interview conducted by ShaDonna “Mo” McPhaul, Public Relations Director for the E.E. Smith Alumni Sports Hall of Fame, Inc. McPhaul highlighted not only Maya’s athletic achievements on the softball field but also her determination to balance academics, athletics, and personal goals. She underscored the role of public relations in amplifying stories like Maya’s, ensuring that young scholars receive recognition for their accomplishments and encouragement to continue striving toward success.

“Maya represents the very best of what we hope to see in our scholarship recipients,” said McPhaul. “She is committed to excellence, dedicated to her studies, and full of promise. We are excited to celebrate her as she begins this new chapter and to share her story with the community.”

Maya’s mother expressed pride in her daughter’s achievements and encouraged her to keep applying for scholarships as a way to build financial support for her education and future plans. The scholarship not only helps offset the cost of tuition but also supports Maya’s personal goals, such as saving toward her first car, which will provide her with greater independence as she balances school and extracurricular commitments.

The E.E. Smith Alumni Sports Hall of Fame, Inc. has a long tradition of honoring and supporting student-athletes. By awarding scholarships, the organization continues to invest in the next generation of leaders who carry forward the legacy of determination, discipline, and community involvement associated with E.E. Smith High School and its alumni network.

As Maya begins her college career, she stands as an inspiration for current students and alumni alike. Her story reflects the values of perseverance, academic curiosity, and community spirit that the Hall of Fame seeks to recognize and uplift.
