From Fat, Black, and Unlovable to Beautiful. Powerful. Love: a journey of intergenerational healing and transformation

From Near-Death to New Life

Barbara (Pamplin) Ohuninifa’s debut memoir, From Fat, Black, and Unlovable to Beautiful Powerful Love, shares her extraordinary journey of survival and healing. In 2017, Barbara faced an aortic dissection—a cardiac event with a 99% fatality rate—along with three open-heart surgeries and three resuscitations. This crisis was not random but the result of unresolved generational pain, betrayal, and systemic trauma.

Determined to heal, Barbara embraced intentional practices to reclaim her health and identity. Her story reveals how she untangled herself from toxic beliefs rooted in misogynoir, systemic oppression, and the inherited traumas of slavery. Reflecting on her South Side Chicago upbringing, her years as a young single mother in Atlanta, and the truths she uncovered, she inspires readers with her transformation. Her memoir affirms the power of healing and joy, no matter the odds.

What You’ll Discover

Barbara’s memoir offers readers more than a story—it’s a guide to healing. Alongside her reflections, she shares practical tools, including:

Reconnecting with Self: Techniques to align with your authentic self through nature, Ancestral guidance, and inner stillness.

Reflection and Growth: Journaling prompts and meditations to deepen self-awareness and release limiting beliefs.

Holistic Healing: Grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and rituals for emotional and physical well-being.

A Life of Joy: Simple, actionable ideas to bring creativity, laughter, and celebration into daily life.

This book empowers Black women to heal generational wounds, reclaim their power, and embrace self-love.

Part of the Beautiful Powerful Love Series

This memoir is the first in the Beautiful Powerful Love series, followed by Remember Who The Fck You Are*, a journal and activity book for Black women. Together, these works provide a transformational toolkit for self-discovery, healing, and reconnecting with Ancestral wisdom.
