Breaking the Birth Debt

Breaking the Birth Debt is a powerful, practical guide for anyone who has felt the weight of family responsibility turn into silent obligation. In many Black and African families, helping is not optional — it is expected. Love becomes duty. Support becomes pressure. And over time, the cost of being born is paid not in gratitude, but in guilt, exhaustion, and delayed dreams. This book explores the reality of Black Tax with honesty and compassion, offering clarity where shame often lives. It helps readers understand how family responsibility shifts from love to burden, why boundaries feel so difficult to set, and how to give support without losing yourself in the process. Written as a practical companion to The Price of Being Born, this guide moves beyond awareness into action. Through reflection, grounded insight, and gentle guidance, Breaking the Birth Debt empowers readers to build financial clarity, establish healthy boundaries, protect their relationships, and begin rewriting inherited patterns. This is not a book about abandoning family or rejecting culture. It is a book about balance. About healing. About choosing a future that includes both love and self-respect. If you have ever felt responsible for carrying more than your share, this book is for you. You owe love — not your life.
