7 Black Women on Things That Bring Them Joy

"Me time, in any form. As Black women, we always take on so much responsibility trying to prove our worthiness in society, as mothers, wives, girlfriends, employers, students, etc., that we hardly have a chance to just breathe. When I get some me time, it's truly the best feeling to me. Sometimes I cook myself a nice meal and have a bubble bath, get a massage, go shopping, take myself out for a drink, or binge-watch my favorite shows and have a bottle of wine in my comfiest clothes." — Andrea Holmes, 32, nurse and military police in Army Reserves
