“Soul
Deep”— Perspectives on Race, Relationships, Social Justice, and
Hope - offers a soul baring excavation into the lives of eight
African American women. Born, raised, and educated in the United
States, the authors currently live in eight states and three
countries. Despite differences in personality, lifestyle, skin color,
hair texture, regional vernacular, and geographic location, they
share a significant and life changing common bond—Their
ethnicity.
At
one or more points in each woman’s life, she found herself in toxic
environments teeming with an undeniable message. This language was
spoken in a manner they will never forget— The language of
hate.
These
women—mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, musicians, artists,
professors, educators, and entrepreneurs share a collective, intense
desire to make a difference with their truth. Personal experiences
that only they can share. Experiences that are often painful, vile,
confusing, hurtful, and deeply rooted not only in the fabric of who
they are, but in the ongoing, systematic practices of our society and
repercussions of our past – the perpetuation of exploitation,
greed, denial, and a criminal sense of misguided entitlement.
In
this compilation of short essays and memoirs, these writers,
including USA Today bestselling and award-winning authors, re-examine
their hearts and minds under the microscope of racism. If you have
ever felt marginalized or oppressed, their voices will enlighten and
resonate with you.
This sounds like a really good book.
