Seasons Greetings and Merry Christmas! No better gift than a great book or movie rec, as stories are our human escape and our reflections. Hope you enjoy seeing what I loved most in 2023 and your holiday! Peace and Blessings, Kalisha

If You Read One Book Today: The New Black Woman by Marita Golden
I'm so happy to wish all a beautiful World Mental Health Day by sharing this book that is so important to me. Don't see The New Black Woman and believe you have to be a Black woman to read it. Do you know a Black woman? Do you love a Black woman? Do you work with one? Do you ask one to be a good neighbor and water your plants or sit your cat while you travel? Do you have one or more teaching your children, being their second mothers all day in school as their job while you probably make way more money at yours? Do you order from her restaurant and brag on how good her food is? Do you have one or a few in your book club, professional group, gym, lecture hall or church pew?
Choosing to Remember Black Women Were at the Oscars…
