I want to meet Harriet Cole, thank her for writing this book, and ask for a job.
"How to Be" is not just an etiquette book, it's a good start in tackling issues that affect the Black community. Knowledge of one's history, promoting the value of the African American experience, and a crash crash course in showing love and appreciation are what this book promotes. Who would've thought it would be a book that offers practical, centered, and gracious advice on how to maneuver through life successfully and authentically. After reading it, who wouldn't.
