Throughout the month of March, Yvonne Stroman celebrates women’s history month through a series of short videos that empower women in recovery to be their best selves. In each video, she reads passages from the book “Queen Baby,” by Sheila Hermes and leads a discussion on how women can explore who they are and what they value and become the women they want to be.
“Queen Baby” by Sheila Hermes is a short, 20-page pamphlet written for women in recovery that explores how inhibited “emotional development can…affect their relationships and their self-esteem–and therefore their recovery.”
