They share their truth about life, love, family, faith and hope in these 101 personal stories and 12 powerful poems. The world is listening. Black women are speaking, for themselves and their families, and everyone is listening. This unique collection of stories is for readers of all colors, not just the Black community, as these contributors share their dreams, their triumphs and failures, and their lives, which have unique challenges and hardships that are not well understood by others. Readers of color will recognize their own struggles in these pages, and white readers will benefit from an inside view of Black life in America, Canada and beyond. These 101 stories and 12 poems, written by and for Black women, cover it all—from fierce to funny—about hopes and dreams, fears and realities, identity and self-discovery, family, children, even hair. Each one starts with a quote connecting you to a wellspring of wisdom from historical and contemporary Black women. âWe are speaking now,â says Breena Clarke, coauthor of this book. âBecause the moment is now, in this collection of first-person narratives. This is an opportunity to hear the often silenced voices of Black women, writing for you and because of you. These are stories of universal human experiences but also reflect the specificity of Black women’s lives in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.â Everyone will benefit from this look into the culture, wisdom, and everyday reality of the Black experience, with 11 chapters, each starting with a powerful poem."--Amazon.com. 530 $a Issued also as an ebook. 650 0 $a Women, Black $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Women, Black $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Women, Black $v Poetry. 650 0 $a African American women $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a African American women $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a African American women $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Love $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Courage $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Hope $v Anecdotes. 655 0 $a Anecdotes. 655 0 $a Poetry. 700 1 $a Clarke, Breena, $e compiler. 941 $a 6 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020335.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20221230010546.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220920011046.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20220720011145.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014010.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220104014517.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61FB07A86D2E11ECB3EC20C24FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
