Seven successful Black women in social work teamed up to present the "It Takes A Village" book anthology as a means to inspire professionals of color along their journey. As a collective we are sharing our intimate stories of why we chose the profession, how to practice self-care, how to earn multiple streams of income, going beyond the norm, advocating for yourself, how to utilize resources, healing while helping, professional development, and much more.
