Book Tour Begins -- Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Greenville, North Carolina!

Greetings Everyone,

Well, it is just a few weeks away until the launch of my new book -- "Black America, Body Beautiful: How the African American Image is Changing Fashion, Fitness and Other Industries" and I'm very excited about it!

The interests from the general public and the media in my book's topic and major themes are enjoyable and surprising. I believe that my book has hit on a topic that has been neglected or avoided in the mainstream media and even in African American communities. As I said in the video webcam, this is POSITIVE BOOK about African American body types, images and standard of beauty. All too often we don't hear or see positive issues related to African American physical images. Well, if you want to read about the African American image -- in a positive way and in a cultural historial approach, I believe that my book accomplishes these objectives.

Additionally, just in case you are interested my book tour begins in August! Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Greenville, North Carolina will be the kick-off of my NATIONWIDE book tour. Here is the date and logistics:

• Book Discussion & Book Signing -- Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Greenville, North Carolina - August 21st - 7:00pm (Address: 3040 Evans Street, Greenville, NC)

All book tour dates will be posted on this blog as soon as they become finalized.

So, if you want to attend my PREMIERE KICK-OFF OF THE BOOK TOUR, I will see you at Barnes and Nobles Booksellers in Greenville, North Carolina -- August 21st - 7:00pm!

New Book Coming This Spring - "Black America, Body Beautiful"

Greetings Everyone,

I was just informed yesterday from my editor that my brand new book entitled, "Black America, Body Beautiful: How the African American Image is Changing Fashion, Fitness, and Other Industries," is scheduled to be released to the public on June 30, 2008. I am very excited and looking foward to promoting my new book this summer.

I believe that it is a very timely topic and much needed showcase of African American preferred body images and body types. It's truly amazing how we have endured so much ridicule and denial of our own beauty for centuries. Now with this book, I will show how African Americans have not only endured this challenge of how we look and how we view ourselves but I will also show how NOW more than ever OUR BODY IMAGES AND BODY TYPES ARE CHANGING THE WORLD PARTICULARLY IN FASHION, FITNESS, ENTERTAINMENT, AND POLITICS.

So there it is. This is the first announcement of my new book -- Black America, Body Beautiful: How the African American Image is Changing Fashion, Fitness, and Other Industries.
I will be providing you more updates and promotional informationn about my exciting new book!

If you would like to know more about my book, feel free to email or leave a message on the blog.
