Embrace the heat!

Revisado: 02-24-25

“The things that create conflict for you and your lover are the very things the two of you need to lean into, because they’re tied to your integrity. Your conflict needs to cook—and you can’t cook without heat.”

This quote here sums up this very informative book of how to deal with your partner; most times we overlook and avoid the difficult parts. Dr. Resmaa Menakem gives practical solutions-along with actual cases-of how to enjoy the “monster” that you are in love with, part of which is identifying your own monster! A great read!

The narrator is great

Revisado: 01-30-24

The story is mediocre at best. Seemed like half the book was a recap of the 1st book. I guess that’s good if you hadn’t read the 1st book but otherwise it’s annoying.

Boring. Sorry its not exciting at all.

I really wanted to love this book, as a fellow muslim, wanting to support my muslim sister. However, the story was dry. I zoned out several times. If that happens, I usually rewind so I dont miss anything but I didnt find that necessary here.

The virtual voice is not the best option. It doesnt know how to pronpunce certain words and thats annoying.

Hella gems and jewels!

If women really do want to win at love, then this book should be part of the game plan. There are so many wisdoms in this book, and women just need to take a moment to listen to (or read) them, and put a lot of the modern conditioning that they’ve received about love and relationships on hold for a minute, and consider getting back to the old fashioned model of feminine energy that excites and motivates a man. Men need to listen to this too…as a man and husband, I approve this message!

A hero’s story!

Revisado: 05-23-23

“For 44 years I defied the State of Louisiana and the Department of Corrections. Their main objective was to break my spirit. They did not break me. I have witnessed the horrors of man’s cruelty to man. I did not lose my humanity. I bear the scare of beatings, loneliness, isolation, and persecution. I am also marked by every kindness.”

Salute Shaka “Fox” Cinque!

The writing has been on the wall!

Revisado: 02-07-23

This was a very informative book, highlighting the biggest threat to us as society: electricity! An excerpt from the book:

“Like the proverbial boiled frog, we are all immersed in a giant pot of radiation, whose intensity is increasing, and whose effect, though unperceived, is nevertheless certain.”

The price to pay for all of this advancement in technology is our lives. Lord help us!

Don't let the title fool you!

I liked the twist that put on this story, a very subtle way to deal with the issue of race and racism. I don't want to blow it, but all I can say is, the last White is not the last White man!

An excellent, excellent, excellent (and must) read

Revisado: 08-18-22

This book has highlighted so many things that have been wrong with this country as a result of White supremacy in the form of chattel slavery, and then every thing at the disposal of the adherents of that ideology has been used to keep Black people down. Furthermore, the ONE thing that could begin to help offset the wrongs-reparations-is precisely the one thing that America refuses to do, and as such, there will always be two Americas: the one that exists where the racial divide is as wide as it ever was, and the one that we as a nation (or they as a race) continue to be delusional about building. An excerpt from the book:

"Saying that the nation can progress racially is a necessary statement of hope. Saying that the nation has progressed racially is usually a statement of ideology, one that has been used all too often to obscure the opposite reality of racist progress. And it’s been this way since the beginning."
