The Work We Carry: Motherhood, Mission, and Becoming

By Dr Latrina Thomas and Dr Patrina Dow

The Work We Carry: Motherhood, Mission, and Becoming is a powerful reflection on what it means to rise as a mother, a professional, and a woman in purpose.

Written by twin sisters and first-generation college graduates, Dr. Patrina Dow and Dr. Latrina Thomas, this book invites readers into an honest and deeply moving exploration of the work Black women carry in our homes, in our communities, and within ourselves.

Drawing from personal experience, professional insight, and cultural legacy, The Work We Carry honors the sacrifices of the women who came before while offering encouragement to those still building. With themes of identity, maternal health, leadership, healing, faith, and family, this book is for any woman balancing multiple roles and still choosing to lead with integrity.

This is not a how-to guide; it's a shared breath, a mirror, and a torch. Whether you are a student, a counselor, a mother, a mentor, or a woman navigating your own becoming, this book is a reminder that the work you're doing matters, and that you are not alone.

For anyone who carries the weight of legacy and the hope of something more - The Work We Carry is for you.
