Summary:
"
Now
more than ever, the strong, independent, courageous voices of
Black
women
are being heard loud and clear. They
share
their
truth
about life,
love
, family, faith and
hope
in these
101
personal
stories
and 12 powerful poems. The world is listening.
Black
women
are
speaking
, for themselves and
their
families, and everyone is listening. This unique collection of
stories
is for readers of all colors, not just the
Black
community, as these contributors
share
their
dreams,
their
triumphs and failures, and
their
lives, which have unique challenges and hardships that are not well understood by others. Readers of color will recognize
their
own struggles in these pages, and white readers will benefit from an inside view of
Black
life in America, Canada and beyond. These
101
stories
and 12 poems, written by and for
Black
women
, cover it all--from fierce to funny--about hopes and dreams, fears and realities, identity and self-discovery, family, children, even hair. Each one starts with a quote connecting you to a wellspring of wisdom from historical and contemporary
Black
women
. "We are
speaking
now
," says Breena Clarke, coauthor of this book. "Because the moment is
now
, in this collection of first-person narratives. This is an opportunity to hear the often silenced voices of
Black
women
, writing for you and because of you. These are
stories
of universal human experiences but also reflect the specificity of
Black
women
's lives in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean." Everyone will benefit from this look into the culture, wisdom, and everyday reality of the
Black
experience, with 11 chapters, each starting with a powerful poem."--Amazon.com.
