| Summary: | This essay is designed to address the racist medical practices entrenched in the fabric of the United States. These have often caused irreparable harm to the well-being of African American women for generations and their effects on the spirits of African American women who currently suffer a higher rate of fatalities than their white female counterparts with respect to curable and preventable diseases. Present in this research is a theological framework for African American women based upon biblical insight with a view towards encouraging them to identify, implement, and maintain spiritual self-care practices that will address this public health crisis. |
