Am I worthy of belonging? Am I loved just as I am? Am I safe to exist without worry?
The Enneagram is a map of human development that shows us the limiting stories that keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns and invites us into more expansive stories. For too long, conversations about the Enneagram and its personality types have been centered on whiteness. In The Enneagram for Black Liberation, certified Enneagram teacher and trained psychotherapist Chichi Agorom reclaims the Enneagram as a powerful tool for Black women to rediscover our wholeness and worth. This paperback edition includes a new guide to practicing freedom.
Breaking down each Enneagram type as a form of protective armor, this book offers practices to help us remember our sense of self separate from our survival strategies. For those of us who stay armored up constantly, Agorom offers a path to discovering who we are beneath the armor we carry, and how to access more choice and ease. Centering the liberation of Black women as key to our collective liberation, Agorom invites each of us to claim the Enneagram as a tool for greater ease and freedom.
