"I have been in search of a book . that lifts me in celebration of
who I am as an African-American woman and my blessed connection to
other women of color, to all women, to all people; a book that
teaches me in testimony that I must, and can, take charge of the
health of my soul and, therefore, awake each morning ready to live
in faith, in love, in compassion with others . I need search no
longer. "Walk Tall" is that book."
-Gloria Wade-Gayles, author of "My Soul is a Witness" "Brice looks
at the commonalities and shared spirituality of people of color .
the true essence of our spiritual journey on Earth."
-Ben Nighthorse Campbell, former U.S. Senator The 366 affirmations
collected here celebrate cultural diversity and the drive,
determination, and accomplishments of people of color. These daily
thoughts help readers challenge internalized racism and nurture
personal responsibility and self-love.
Finally, a collection that celebrates, considers, contemplates,
even criticizes'midlife' from a black woman's point of view. "Age
Ain't Nothing but a Number" ranges over every aspect of black
women's lives: personal growth, family and friendship, love and
sexuality, health, beauty, illness, spirituality, creativity,
financial independence, work, and scores of other topics.
Midlife today isn't your grandmother's'change of life.' Today,
black women call hot flashes 'power surges, ' and menopause, the
'pause that refreshes.' These days, middle-aged women may be
newlyweds or new mothers, as well as grandmothers or widows. They
may experience the empty-nest syndrome and then the
'return-to-the-nest syndrome' as adult children move back home.
They may navigate the field of Internet dating, travel the world,
teach homeless women, take up pottery, or study international
business.
This anthology captures all of these aspects of midlife as
experienced by some of the finest voices in African-American
writing today. Featuring the work of Maya Angelou, J. California
Cooper, Pearl Cleage, Nikki Giovanni, Susan L. Taylor, Alice
Walker, and dozens of others, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number will
make readers think, laugh, and cry and will be the perfect gift
book for spring.
