Groundbreaking New Book Issues Call to Action on Racial Schism Among Black and White Women Following 2024 Election

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Black women and White women in the United States struggle to redefine the “Sisterhood” – a bond of shared identity and collective empowerment – in the face of the clear demarcation of who voted for whom in the 2024 Presidential election, renowned author and minister Rev. Dr. A’Shellarien Addison announces the release of “This Is Not That: Black Women and White Women Breaking the Chains of Religious, Racial, and Psychological Violence in the Rise of Kamala Harris” (ISBN 979-8344040080; Desakajo Publishing). This timely work delves into the history and impact of societal, religious, and psychological structures that have sown division between Black and White women in the United States for generations—and offers a transformative blueprint for unity through “Spiritual Sisterhood.”

“This is a call to embrace true Spiritual Sisterhood – a sacred, safe space where women come together to connect, affirm, and uplift one another,” says Rev. Dr. A’Shellarien. “It’s time to move beyond the dysfunction that has limited us, to see each other fully, and to honor the strength that resides in unity.”

“This Is Not That” 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’s experiences and perceptions of self-worth have been shaped—and how they can be healed.

Rev. Dr. A’Shellarien 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’s leadership as a living example of the possibility of transcending traditional barriers through authentic connection, support, and shared vision.

According to the author, women are called not only to lead but to cultivate “followship” – a mutual commitment that honors each other’s 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.

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:

Let Us Make Humankind
Let Us Make Man
Let Us Make White Woman
Let Us Make Black Woman
Let Us Make An Intersection
Let Us Make A Change
Let Us Make A Difference

“This Is Not That” 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.

“This Is Not That: Black Women and White Women Breaking the Chains of Religious, Racial, and Psychological Violence in the Rise of Kamala Harris” is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and at https://mybook.to/DrAShellarienempowers.
