Just as I Am is my truth. It is me, plain and unvarnished, with the glitter and garland set aside. Here, I am indeed Cicely, the actress who has been blessed to grace the stage and screen for six decades. Yet I am also the church girl who once rarely spoke a word. I am the teenager who sought solace in the verses of the old hymn for which this book is named. I am a daughter and mother, a sister, and a friend. I am an observer of human nature and the dreamer of audacious dreams.

Just as I Am - AMAZING!!!!!
Revisado: 02-06-21
Cicely Tyson's JUST AS I AM is an arm-in-arm stroll in the park, a mid-day cup of tea, a late night phone call, a pop-in visit, a whisper in your ear, a remove your earrings….where they at…a sit down at her feet, an Oh No she didn't; a …wait..wait, he did what?; a you're better than me; a bucket of tears, a fall on the floor in laughter moment, and a wonder of how her crown was always straight as she consistently presented the very best of us to the world in her art. But, God. Thank you Jesus for the life of Cicely Tyson

The Narrator mispronounced "Tuskegee".
Revisado: 12-29-19
The Narrator did not know how to pronounce "Tuskegee". How do you mention the "Tuskegee Airmen" and mispronounce "Tuskegee"? This should have been corrected.

When you hear the word retirement, you probably don't imagine yourself scrambling to pay your bills in your golden years. But for too many Americans, that's the fate that awaits unless they take steps now to plan for the future.

Retire Inspired is very well written and eloquently narrated by the author himself. It was easy to follow and understand - no matter what level of financial literacy you are.
I have so much work to do.

From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.

The Warmth of Other Suns! Brilliant!!!!
Revisado: 10-15-18
A Brilliant piece of work!
The Warmth of Other Suns is placed on my bookshelf next to W.E.B. Dubous' The Souls Of Black Folk, Taylor Branch's Parting The Waters - America in the King years, and Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow✔
Well done, Isabel Wilkerson! Well done!

I've been a TLC fan from the beginning. T-Boz, the cool one, was always my favorite. I enjoyed hearing her story... at least, the parts she chose to share.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

I wish I had read this book while I was 30 something.
Experience and age points you in the right direction. But, it's never too late for a little nudge.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Born A Crime reminds me when an old friend visits for a weekend and shares their story and you don't want them to leave.
