Zusammenfassung:The Black Superwoman Phenomenon refers to the idea that Black women should be caretakers and assume various roles and responsibilities without the opportunity to be emotionally transparent and expressive. Popular media images and historical narratives reinforce and perpetuate this notion of Black women as able to assume these responsibilities without emotional release and support. Thus, Black women may seek solace from these unrealistic expectations in their faith and find purpose in serving their local church communities. This article explores the ways the BSW phenomenon may intersect with religious coping practices and provides implications to respond to potential mental health consequences.
