Omschrijving

Grace and Power is a bold, healing, and unapologetic exploration of what it means to live as a Black and Indigenous woman in a world that too often misunderstands, undervalues, and misrepresents her strength.

From generation to generation, women of color have been expected to carry families, communities, cultures, and movements—often without recognition, protection, or rest. They are praised for their resilience but denied softness. Celebrated for their endurance but ignored in their vulnerability. Expected to be strong, yet punished for being powerful.

This book exists to restore balance.

In Grace and Power, Ryan C. Sanders honors the full humanity of Black and Indigenous women—mind, body, spirit, and voice. Through reflection, storytelling, cultural insight, and psychological empowerment, he examines how grace and power are not opposites, but partners. One sustains. The other protects. Together, they create sovereignty.

Sanders explores how history, media, education, and social systems have shaped harmful narratives around women of color—labeling them as "too strong," "too emotional," "too aggressive," or "too much." These labels are not accidental. They function as tools of control. When a woman doubts her worth, she becomes easier to silence.

Using his Mental Martial Arts framework, the author reframes identity as strategy. Emotional intelligence becomes armor. Self-respect becomes currency. Boundaries become sacred ground. Readers are guided to recognize manipulation, reject internalized limitation, and rebuild self-image from truth rather than trauma.

Each chapter invites deep reflection. It encourages readers to examine where they learned to overgive, overperform, overextend, and undervalue themselves. It challenges the normalization of exhaustion. It exposes how survival mode can quietly replace joy. And it offers practical pathways back to wholeness.

Grace and Power speaks to daughters, mothers, sisters, aunties, leaders, creatives, healers, and visionaries. It affirms that softness is not weakness. Anger is not pathology. Ambition is not arrogance. Rest is not laziness. Presence is not submission.

In a culture that profits from overworking and underprotecting women of color, this book re-centers dignity.

More than inspiration, this is reclamation.

More than encouragement, this is strategy.

More than affirmation, this is alignment.

It is an invitation to live rooted, radiant, and unshakeable—without apology.

This is the return to self.

This is the rise in truth.

This is Grace and Power.
