Now more than ever, the strong, independent, courageous voices of
Black women are being heard loud and clear. 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. "We are speaking now," says Breena
Clarke, coauthor of this book. "Because 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." 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: * The Shoulders We Stand On * Where We Come From *
Everyday Struggles * Stand Up, Speak Out * Raising Our Children *
Family & Food for the Soul * Taking Care of Me * Sisters,
Friends * Loving Black Men * Identity & Roots * Self-Discovery
