Graduating, getting established in your career, and dating another professional are things many young middle-class women expect to do and take for granted. But when your parents don't support you and you have siblings in prison, those milestones seem monumental. What does growing up poor do to your self-esteem? How do patterns of stress and family violence, poor diet and poor health continue to affect you even after you escape to a higher income bracket? And what can one woman do to turn around the cycle of racism, poverty, and intergenerational suffering? Hafiz gives a frank account of the anxiety and rewards of becoming "middle class" through a complete change of diet and adopting habits such as traveling and doing yoga. While her peers pursue one kind of African American dream by climbing the corporate ladder, Hafiz finds meaning in learning to cook macrobiotic food and practice meditation. By doing so, she recovers from chronic health conditions and heals from the family trauma she has inherited"--|cProvided by publisher. 520 "Memoir of young African American woman who grew up surrounded by poverty and violence and whose life is transformed through practicing yoga and eating whole foods"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Hafiz, Saeeda. 610 20 Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center (New York, N.Y.)|vBiography. 650 0 Yoga teachers|vBiography. 650 0 African American women|vBiography. 650 0 Hatha yoga. 650 0 Macrobiotic diet. 650 0 Mind and body therapies. 650 0 Self-care, Health. 650 0 ocls african american bio 653 0 Yoga practitioners 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 938 Brodart|bBROD|n121072177 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n14921734 994 C0|bORL
