"Of course, you start reading this book with a certain amount of dread because you already know how it's going to finish. That out of the way, this is a very disappointing account of the Harris campaign. You get very occasional insights into her chara" Read more of this review »
107 Days by Kamala Harris
"107 Days” by Kamala Harris is an intriguing read. While at times difficult to read due to what she experienced, it offers a behind-the-scenes look at a critical moment in history. It’s remarkable how much she managed to accomplish in just 107 days. T" Read more of this review »

“Remnants is an extraordinary gift…a kind of Rosetta Stone of the African American woman’s soul – all the ‘remnants,’ the bits and pieces Rosemarie carefully saved, remembered, nurtured, in her ancestors, relatives and self coming together in this extremely useful compendium of wisdom, of sureness and insight that we will be able to use for generations to come.”
Alice Walker

“Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,

"You owe me."

Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.”
