For many Black women, boundaries were never modeled, they were violated, ignored, or framed as selfish. From family roles to workplace expectations to intimate relationships, we are often conditioned to sacrifice ourselves to keep the peace.
Boundaries and Black Women was created as a sacred, affirming space to help you unlearn survival based patterns and begin choosing yourself.
Written by Chisara Okehi, LCSW, this workbook combines trauma informed care, somatic awareness, and culturally responsive reflection to support Black women in identifying their limits, expressing their needs, and protecting their energy.
This is not a workbook about becoming cold or distant.
It is about becoming clear, grounded, and emotionally safe.
What You’ll Explore Inside
✔ The cultural and family roots of boundary struggles in Black women
✔ How survival roles (helper, peacemaker, fixer, caregiver) shape boundary patterns
✔ Guided reflection to identify where and why your boundaries break down
✔ Boundary setting scripts you can actually use in real conversations
✔ Somatic boundary scans to help you listen to your body’s signals
✔ Journaling prompts to unpack guilt, fear, and self betrayal
✔ A communication planner for navigating difficult conversations
✔ Tools to help you say no without overexplaining or self abandoning
Who This Workbook Is For
This workbook is for Black women who:
• Feel emotionally drained or burned out
• Struggle to say no without guilt
• Were taught to prioritize others over themselves
• Feel responsible for everyone’s comfort but their own
• Want to protect their peace without losing their softness

What Makes This Workbook Different
This workbook is not generic boundary advice.
It speaks directly to the lived experiences of Black women, including cultural expectations, generational trauma, and survival based roles. It honors the reality that boundaries are not just personal, they are political, cultural, and deeply embodied.
The tone is affirming, direct, and compassionate. No shaming. No bypassing. Just truth and support.
