\u201cThis is a call to embrace true Spiritual Sisterhood – a sacred, safe space where women come together to connect, affirm, and uplift one another,\u201d says Rev. Dr. A\u2019Shellarien. \u201cIt\u2019s time to move beyond the dysfunction that has limited us, to see each other fully, and to honor the strength that resides in unity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Is Not That\u201d arrives at a pivotal moment. It challenges women to recognize and confront the barriers that have historically hindered the Sisterhood, from the subjugation perpetuated by patriarchal religious systems to the racial divides reinforced by societal constructs dating back to chattel slavery. Each chapter unfolds a journey through this landscape, exploring how women\u2019s experiences and perceptions of self-worth have been shaped\u2014and how they can be healed.<\/p>\n

Rev. Dr. A\u2019Shellarien writes with conviction, reflecting on the rise of Kamala Harris as a moment of unprecedented opportunity for women across racial and cultural divides to come together. The author sees Harris\u2019s leadership as a living example of the possibility of transcending traditional barriers through authentic connection, support, and shared vision.<\/p>\n

According to the author, women are called not only to lead but to cultivate \u201cfollowship\u201d – a mutual commitment that honors each other\u2019s inherent worth. This book challenges Black and White women to set aside old narratives of division, to reclaim their voices, and to act in unity.<\/p>\n

Through seven illuminating sections, readers are guided to understand the roots of separation, recognize the sacred strength within a true Sisterhood, and embrace a vision of collective empowerment:<\/p>\n

  1. Let Us Make Humankind<\/li>\n
  2. Let Us Make Man<\/li>\n
  3. Let Us Make White Woman<\/li>\n

  5. Let Us Make An Intersection<\/li>\n
  6. Let Us Make A Change<\/li>\n
  7. Let Us Make A Difference<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cThis Is Not That\u201d is a timely call to action for women of all backgrounds to reclaim their power, voice, and vision, paving the way for a future where they lead side by side in harmony. It is a must-read for anyone invested in building a more equitable, inclusive, and empowered society.<\/p>\n
