Introduction

I really believe that many of the problems that our young black women face today can be prevented from happening in the first place. Many young black women have seemingly lost their self-respect, so much so that they have subjected themselves to indignities and disrespect, such as allowing themselves to be called out of their name.

The truth of the matter is, many young black women have never been taught and trained in the right way. Many have never been taught how to carry themselves like ladies—with dignity, class and grace. Many have never been taught how to be tough while at the same time remain humble. Many have never been taught how to be strong-minded and not silly-minded, so they fall apart at the slightest misfortune that comes across their path.

Although I strongly believe, according to the Scriptures, that the older women should teach the younger women, I must unfortunately and sadly admit here, that there are not many older women, or older men for that matter, living according to Biblical principals themselves who can, with authority, teach the younger women how to act and how to carry themselves with dignity and class. With that said, I have included in this book what I believe to be seven things that many young black women do to mess up their lives.

The purpose of this book is to help young black women avoid messing up their lives by making these seven common mistakes. I believe that any young black woman, who will read this book, and avoid making these seven mistakes, will live a successful and victorious life; one free of unnecessary pain and hurt, and one that will be pleasing to God.

I encourage you, dear sister, to read it and let it become a part of you; then pass it on to another sister so she, too, can get on the right track and stay on the right track with her life, and thus avoid many of the pitfalls that can cause much hurt, pain, and heartache.
