Encouraging & Optimistic Urban Story
Revisado: 09-09-23
Kameron Lunon’s performance in Speedsuit Powers is engaging and natural. His voice and animation illuminate the narrative, bringing to life Curtis, his friends, and family. The story itself depicts the strength of family connections, the value of mentorship and community support. The characters each have their struggles but when they come together they learn from and empower one another to rise above their circumstances to achieve their personal goals. The novel itself is a welcomed shift from traditional stories of African American urban life. Enjoyable performance!

Have you bought in to “the new normal”? It’s a lifestyle based on heightened expectations and upward social comparisons. It sounds good, and it often feels necessary. But it’s killing us. In Own Your Happy, best-selling author Valorie Burton shares openly about her struggle against a lifestyle that seems normal but is far from natural. Even better, she equips listeners with the tools to create a lifestyle filled with breathing room - a lifestyle that empowers each of us to be fully present, more productive, and truly satisfied.

Valorie Burton’s books have changed my life!
Revisado: 01-01-20
I came across Valorie Burton in 2012 when I read Successful Women Think Differently. It was as if she completely understood my struggles with self doubt and could speak to where I was in order to empower me to improve my life. I even used her material to speak to college women at a club meeting. I shared so many of her key points that my niece shared the information with her sorority and they invited her to their university to speak! In this newest book, It’s About Time, Burton has managed to effectively capture where I am in my life. I have developed a bit of angst over the many things to which I must attend and how to determine which of those things are the priority in a given moment. She has enabled me to weigh out what matters and how to make choices that align with my specific values. This is a great book and wonderful resource for those who feel the pressure of competing demands. If you want to gain greater control over your time and not feel stressed and driven by your commitments, then you will appreciate this book!

Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is 12 hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that.

Wonderful Story of Hope
Revisado: 11-20-19
This novel by Nicola Yoon was my first encounter with the author. I was drawn to the concept and decided to adopt the title for teaching a college-level fiction into film class. I am so glad I did. From discussions of identity, immigration, cultural clashes, black hair care, family, music, spirituality and hope, this novel led to great times in our classroom.
Thank you Ms. Yoon for having the courage to write and to break away from a career in finance to share your talents with the world!
