What does your address mean to you?

Revisado: 02-19-22

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author takes a seemingly simple idea - reason for addressing - and develops it in an amazingly global way, drawing examples from all over the world. This was a very interesting read. I will never again underestimate the value of an address - some used for good and others more so for social and financial gains.

Very Enlightening!

Revisado: 02-01-22

Highly recommend this book for all mothers, grandmothers, teachers and EVERY person who interacts with children and especially male of color! We must educate ourselves on the facts so we can be better, do better, and ADVOCATE for equitable treatment of our children. We can no longer sit on the sidelines and lose our eyes to the injustices and negative life altering circumstances with which boys of color are faced. We must advocate for educational and juvenile justices reform. We need more mental health professionals to expert provide interventions rather than arresting children and relegating them to the horrors of the juvenile justice system, and worse, the adult criminal system!

Very enlightening and thought provoking!

This was a very interesting dive into the concept of ownership - a concept that I had not before felt the need to fully understand snd/or investigate. What are the rules of ownership and what can we really own in this digital age were questions that emerged for me from the text. Is ownership always legally determined? Is there room for ethical principles to also prevail? These are questions with which I still grapple I highly recommend this book!

A must read!

Revisado: 10-30-21

This is a very timely, well researched and excellently written text that everyone needs to read. It takes a historical review of American history and the tenets of systemic white male privilege, especially in presidential leadership and provides clarity and an understanding of the motivation behind the leadership that is intentionally and systematically built int the American fabric. This is a brilliant book that I will read again to ensure I did not miss essential truths as I greedily gobbled it up on the first read!

Incredible experiences!

Revisado: 10-13-21

This book opened my eyes to the devastating and incredible experiences that many Black women endure daily in corporate America. Climbing the corporate ladder is fraught with many obstacles - some blatant and most shrouded in coded language and behavior. Be prepared to experience anger and frustration and then do some self reflection in an effort to support positive change.

This is a very important book for everyone! It clarifies causes of behavior - yours as well as others and helps you to understand how to relate to others. The role of biology as well as life circumstances - truly nature and nurture, are fully explained in layman’s terms and provides many aha moments. I highly recommend this book. This should be required reading for anyone who works with children, have or plan to have children so harm can be drastically reduced!

Authentically passionate book!

Revisado: 09-18-21

This book is very timely and a must read for those victimized and the helpers working with them. It is a clearly written narrative that chronicles Tarana Burke’s experiences that ultimately gave birth to the Me Too movement. This is a great example of resilience and the art of turning negative experiences into a positive cause for the betterment of a nation and beyond…

This is an excellent book that artfully and sensitively chronicles the details of the 9/11 attack. Hearing the voices of those who served and those who survived, recounting their experiences was very sobering. Reading this book during the withdrawal from Afghanistan makes it even more valuable and reminds us of America’s commitment to democracy.

Revisado: 06-29-21

This is a very timely text that clearly chronicles the history of America and the great divisions among its peoples that are created and maintained by long established protocols. This is a summation of American history in one text. This is a must read text that should be added to the K-12 curriculum!
