Julia Boyd gives us a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold, a smile to fall into, and a raised eyebrow to bring us back to our senses and help us remember how wonderful we are."

It makes such good sense to write a book addressed specifically to Black women that one wonders why it hasn't been done more often in the past."

"The first of its kind to speak specificallto Black women about mental health"
                                                                 -Seattle Times

Sassy, intimate, and full of wisdom and practical insights, In the Company of My Sisters is the first book by a Black Psychotherapist to address the issue of self-esteem in Black women's lives. Julia A. Boyd has drawn from a wealth of
experience-her own and that of her "sister-circle"-to take a hard and honest look at the realities and issues Black
women face.
