Black Presidency???
Revisado: 12-16-24
Thank you for bringing this information to the forefront. I voted for Barack Obama both times however I was left regretting it the second term. I thought he would come out making and affecting real change however it was null and dull for African Americans. Your words further implicated his charge to say less and do less. We talk about representation which is needed however I’m from Missouri known as the show me state.

America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie. In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history.

While on a drive in Los Angeles, on a seemingly average afternoon, Kerry Washington received a text message that would send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. In an instant, her very identity was torn apart, with everything she thought she knew about herself thrown into question.

Kerry’s journey
Revisado: 12-21-23
Love it all! Her honesty and candor was refreshing. She a friend in my head and heart as I listened and thought of my momma since she transitioned on 11/26/23. When Kerry recounted taking care of her momma during the cancer treatment and recovery….i missed my momma since I was her main caregiver. Brava sis on a memoir well done!🤎♾️🤎

Whitney Houston is as big a superstar as the music business has ever known. She exploded on the scene in 1985 with her debut album and spent the next two decades dominating the charts and capturing the hearts of fans around the world. One person was there by her side through it all - her best friend, Robyn Crawford.

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Remember when we hit it off so well that we decided we’re going to need more wine? Well, this time you and I are going to turn to our friend the bartender and ask, you got anything stronger? I promise to continue to make you laugh, but with this round, the stakes get higher as the conversation goes deeper.

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.

This memoir will forever garnish my bookcase once I purchase a copy. This has been a savory morsel that I chewed slowly with each chapter bursting another tantalizing flavor of the Queen…. Ms. Cicely Tyson. Just as she was and is that I am.

When Vanessa Williams was growing up, she had a plan: She'd go to college and major in musical theater; afterward she'd get her MFA from the Yale School of Drama, and then she would embark on a successful career on Broadway. But her life took a detour and she wound up the first black Miss America in September 1983 (an accomplishment that she never planned for or desired), only to be forced to resign ten months later due to a nude photo scandal - much to the shock of her mother, Helen, who had told her, "never pose nude for anyone."

With a sensibility that recalls her beloved screen characters, including Yvette, Queenie, Shug, and the iconic Cookie from Empire, yet is all Taraji, the screen actress writes of her families - the one she was born into and the one she created. She shares stories of her father, a Vietnam vet who was bowed but never broken by life's challenges, and of her mother, who survived violence both in the home and on DC's volatile streets. Here, too, she opens up about her experiences as a single mother.

This was like getting to know on a deeper level due to the generation the grandfathers I never met or grandmothers that never talked. Mr Ossie and Mrs. Ruby voices were like a warm hug as I listen them on my way to work, on my lunch break and driving home from work. I gave me something to look forward to like upcoming trip to a place you’ve been. I love them and didn’t get see them in a play however introduced to them via television and the movies. I’m trying to find everything I can on them....another sweet piece of Our history.
